DIED, in Wellsville, N. Y., Aug. 14, 1865, our beloved mother, Mary Ann Green, wife of Asa Green, in the 52d year of her age. In early life she professed religion and united with the Seventh-day Baptist church, where she remained until five years since, when she embraced the soon coming of her Saviour. And in that belief she died. She was a great sufferer for the last six years of her life.
Funeral discourse by Eld. N. Fuller, from John v, 28, 29. M. P. NILES.
DIED, in Carlton, Mich., March 2, 1866, Louisa B. Fleming, formerly Louisa Bogardus, in the 21st year of her age. She was baptized Jan. 3, 1863, with twelve other young people, and united with the Battle Creek church, of which she remained a member till the time of her death. Of the number who with her took upon themselves the name of Christ, she is the third one who has been laid in the grave. Having been for some time a backslider in spiritual things, she recognized the hand of God in her affliction, stretched forth to disengage her affections from earth, and bring her nearer to him, an effect which her sickness seemed to have in a remarkable degree. She was in much distress during her two weeks' sickness, but in answer to earnest prayer, her sufferings were relieved, and she revived sufficiently to give a parting word of admonition and exhortation to each one present. Thus she fell asleep leaving with her friends satisfactory evidence that she will have a part in the first resurrection. On the occasion of the funeral, appropriate and affecting remarks were offered by Eld. Tapley, Methodist, calculated especially to arouse the young to the importance of attending in time to their eternal interests. U. S.
DIED, in St. Charles, Mich., Jan. 22, 1866, of typhoid fever, Celestia D., only daughter of Bro. Alfred and sister Catharine Spencer, aged 17 years, 8 months, and 13 days. Although unconscious at death, yet her amiable disposition, and expressions of love for the people of God and his cause, gave us a bright ray of hope in her case. D. W. MILK.\nChesaning, Mich.
