DIED, Sept. 29, 1865, at Alton, N. H., Addie Elberton, daughter of T. D. and H. Varney, aged 4 years and 1 month.
“Death entered our bower And plucked a bright flower, The sweetest and fairest we had: Our dear little Addie, Our sweet blue-eyed Addie, And left us heart-stricken and sad.”
An appropriate sermon on the occasion by Eld. M. E. Cornell.
  • Nov. 19, these parents were again called to mourn. Another little daughter is gone. Death laid his icy hand on Cora Annett, aged 6 years. She was an interesting and lovely child, noticeable by all who knew her for her sweet and amiable disposition. How sad these bereavements but for the hope of the glorious morn just in the future, when these children with all the loved and lost of earth will be restored again.
Sermon on this occasion by Eld. J. G. Smith.
O. P. VARNEY.
DIED, in Ann Arbor, Nov. 30, Arthur Edmunds, aged 19 years, youngest son of Bro. and sister Edmunds of the same place.
He returned from Texas five days before his death, where he had been for a few months past.
His mind was much stirred up on the subject of religion, and from some expressions that he made his friends have hope of his acceptance with his Maker.
Funeral services at the Methodist church in Ann Arbor, Sabbath, Dec. 2, by the writer.

DIED, in Portland, Me., Nov. 13, 1865, of diptheria, after an illness of six days, Bro. Reuben Parker, aged 57 years. Bro. Parker had scarcely returned from the grave of his eldest son who died Nov. 7, ere he was stricken down by the same disease, and in the short space of time above mentioned was laid by his side. A companion and a younger son remain to bear their incomparable loss, while he will be greatly missed by the little company of Sabbath-keepers in that city, of which he was a member.

DIED, in South Haven, Mich., Sep. 7, suddenly, though after a very severe illness, Eld. Austin Harmon, aged 37 years, 7 months, and 4 days.

MRS. A. HARMON.
DIED, at Mannsville, Jeff. Co., N. Y., Sep. 29, 1865, of typhoid fever, my only brother, Silas O., son of Lorenzo and Jane M. Lowrey, in the 24th year of his age. He left a wife and one child to mourn his loss.
Funeral sermon by C. O. Taylor, from Rev. xxi, 9, “And there shall be no more death.”
H. A. LOWREY.
DIED, in Cass, Ohio, Nov. 18, 1865, Bro. Joseph Stacy, of typhoid fever, aged fifty-eight years. At his request we had a precious season of prayer with him on the morning of the 17th. Though very weak he praised the Lord and expressed himself encouraged. His companion and believing children mourn not without hope.
