Obituary from Review and Herald December 10, 1889:
"Died in South Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 13, 1889, of dropsy, Mrs. Elsie P. Below (Elsie Philomela Flower), in the seventy-ninth year of her age. She was born in Augusta, Oneida Co., N. Y., June 1, 1811. She was married to John Gregg April 28, 1825, who died July 18, 1839. Feb. 2, 1842, she was married to John C. Below, who died May 9, 1855. In 1835 she united with the Disciple church. In 1842 she commenced the observance
of the seventh day as the Sabbath, under the labors of Eld. Nathan Hull, Seventh-day Baptist. She embraced the Seventh-day Adventist faith in 1851, and was baptized by Eld. Joseph Bates. She was always true to the faith she professed, and lived a quiet, earnest Christian life. One of the marked characteristics of her disposition, was her readiness to go, under all circumstances, to the assistance of others who were in distress. This has been particularly noticeable at times when contagious diseases have been prevalent, when she would go, even at the risk of her own health and life, into places where others would not venture, to assist the suffering. She moved to Michigan in 1857. For the past two years she has been in feeble health, and for the last six months of her life unable to do any work. At times her sufferings were very severe, and then would appear the value of the Christian's hope, in enabling a person hopefully and patiently to endure the evils of this mortal state, in prospect of the eternal weight of glory soon to come. She fell asleep in bright hope of a part in the first resurrection, and the immortality promised to the followers of the Lord Jesus. The funeral was held Nov. 15, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Cummings, with whom she has long made her home. Remarks by the writer and Mrs. E. G. White, to a large company of sympathizing neighbors and friends, U. S.
