Obituary Notices.

DIED, in Forest, Richland Co., Wis., May 27, 1866, sister Purlina Collins, aged 55 years, 1 month, and 22 days. She was a worthy member of the Kickapoo church, of S. D. Adventists, organized by Bro. Ingraham. We trust she sleeps in Jesus.
"Away from Satan's tempting snare, Her faith no longer tried; In Jesus she is sleeping there; For in bright hope she died." THOS. DEMMON.
DIED, in Dodgeville, Iowa Co., Wis., Sabbath morning, July 14, 1866, Mary E., wife of S. B. M'Laughlin, aged 41 years. She embraced the Sabbath and kindred truths under the preaching of Brn. Loughborough and Hart, and was baptized at the close of the meeting, ten years ago, when they were here with the tent. She took her children one by one in her arms a few hours before her death, kissed them, bade them farewell, and exhorted them to serve the Lord, and prepare to meet her at the resurrection. She said she should sleep but a short time.
She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss; but our sorrow has the comfort of hope. S. B. M'LAUGHLIN.
DIED, in Clyde, Whiteside Co., Ill., June 13, 1866, Marion, only son of Eli and Mary Wick, aged 7 years, 10 months, and 4 days.
He was first taken with spotted fever and afterward with inflammation of the bowels, which caused his death.
Little Marion was beloved by all who knew him. He was brought up to fear the Lord, and respect his commandments. He died repeating the last verse of the one hundred and fiftieth psalm.
We tried to comfort the afflicted ones from Jer. xxxi, 16, 17. R. F. ANDREWS.
DIED, in Wyalusing, Mich., of consumption, May 24, 1866, sister Mary Scott. She was a firm believer in the soon coming of Christ, and had been keeping the Sabbath since 1860. To her husband, children and friends, she leaves the consoling hope that she will soon come again from the land of the enemy. M. G. GULICK.
DIED, in Chicago, Ill., Aug. 2d, 1866, of measles, Chas. H. Vail, son of Geo. W., and S. Parker, aged 10 years.
"Sweet be our dear one's dreamless sleep, Upon that hallowed ground, Where holy angels ever keep Their silent watch around." Remarks from 2 Cor. i, 3, 4. H. C. MILLER.
