Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Johnson, Vt., Oct. 20, 1868, Mary E., daughter of L. M. and A. M. Savage, in the eleventh year of her age. Disease, typhoid fever. She realized that death was approaching, requested prayer in her behalf and died composed and apparently resigned.
A. STONE. Eden, Vt., Jan. 20, 1868.
DIED in Jefferson, near Waukon, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1868, in the 34th year of her age, Sr. Frances Jennette, wife of Bro. John P. Farnsworth, leaving an infant son 12 days old. Sr. Jennette was among the first to embrace the Sabbath and third angel's message in Paris, Me., and has ever since had faith in these truths that separate us from the world.
Bro. Farnsworth and her kindred friends deeply feel their loss, but they sorrow not as those without hope. As a church, we shall miss her. Her place in the prayer-meeting and Sabbath-school will be forever vacant. May this deep affliction serve to wean us from the perishable things of earth, and drive us nearer to God. Her remains were followed by a long burial train to the Waukon burying-ground, where we left her to slumber till the resurrection morning, when we expect to meet her to dwell in that land where the inhabitants will never say, “I am sick.” A few remarks were offered from Rev. xxi, 4. C. A. WASHBURN.
DIED in Portage, Livingston Co., N. Y., Jan. 23, of consumption, Andrew A. Wescott, aged thirty-eight years and eight months.
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep, A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes.”
Sermon on the occasion by Rev. Mr. Austin Davis, Wesleyan Methodist. Text, “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.”
HARRIET J. WESCOTT.
