12017-03-09T11:59:50-08:00Analysis of Happy Death of an Indian Girl at Bartica Grove6plain3979762017-03-25T11:10:31-07:00This anecdote, told by Reverend J. H. Bernau of the British Guiana Mission, describes some of the events that transpired after a native family that consisted of a father and two daughters lost the father. The daughter, Amelia, was afflicted with the same sickness as her father and her only solace was in the coming afterlife and the chance to be with her father again. She claimed that “’Jesus has adopted me as one of His’” (L. & G. Seeley et al 103), showing that she was ready to die due to the death of her father in conjunction with her sickness.
The anecdote of the young girl, Amelia, who passed away due to a disease called the “decline” showed the positive impact that bringing the Christian religion to new people can have. After her father dies, she was heartbroken, but the promise of the afterlife gave her solace. When she died, she strongly believed that she would be reunited with her father and that gave her happiness in her last days alive (L. & G. Seeley et al 104-5). The new ways of thinking brought by the British helped to lessen the negative effects of death that occurred in the region.
