The Beauties of the Envangelical Magazine Volume 1 includes the following obituary entitled Happy death of Miss Anne Adey.
Miss Anne Adey, of the city of Gloucester, after lingering through, fifty-four years, died on 11th April 1794. The effects of a religious education were apparent in her early piety, and desire of communion with God in all ordinances of the Gospel. She became a member of the Independent Church at Gloucester, May 1, 1767, of which she was a distinguished ornament. As a Christian she was a pattern of patience and humility to all. During the last nine years of her life, she was sorely afflicted with rheumatism. Besides which, the following circumstances attended her for some time previous to her dissolution: A locked jaw (so that her food was admitted only through an opening made by the loss of a tooth), an inability to help herself with either hand, an impossibility of moving a foot on the ground, and all combined with excessive pain. Let not the strong glory in their strength, but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord." Indeed a passage she often quoted was very applicable to her, Habakkuk, iii. 17, 18. Her language frequently was, "I wish not to murmur, I wish not to repine; he has been a good God to me," The choice of her funeral text, Joshua, xxiii. 14. was very charactistic of the temper of mind with which she bore her efflictions. Such was her attachment to the house and ordinances of God, that whenever the weather and her pains would permit she would be carried thither: And not long before her death she said, "It was a great mercy that when young she never wilfully staid away from the house of God." Those who slight divine appointments will one day want this peaceful reflection. She loved to talk of divine things, and to have visits closed with prayer: "Let us go, and do likewise." Death was disarmed of his terrors as he approached her, for her language was, "I am not afraid of dying, nor of being dead." She even longed for her discharge, and would often say, "When will my Father release me, and take me to himself?" Just before she died, on seeing her servant move, she said, "Do not rise, I want nothing, but a thankful heart." Feeling herself to grow weaker, her last words were, "Pray for me;" and then she fell asleep in Jesus.+ 29 M ii John Adey 30 F iii Katherine Adey was born in 1749.
