Obituary Notices.

Deep affliction rests upon the family of Bro. A. Ross, of Roosevelt, N. Y. After an illness of ten days, the wife and mother fell asleep in death, Sept. 15, 1866, aged 66 years. Although she made no outward profession of religion, yet among those capable of knowing, she had a reputation for good works becoming to Christian character. Her husband states that since the time of a reformation in the church last winter, there was a decided change in her as she became more in favor with the cause of present truth. In her last illness she stated to her friends that she believed in prayer—that her trust was in the Saviour. In times of large gatherings for religious meeting, and whenever an opportunity afforded, she was attentive to the comforts of all who shared their hospitality, and the mourners, we trust, will accept the assurance given by our Saviour, that those who bestow even a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, shall in no wise lose their reward.

A discourse was given to a large audience of sympathizing friends by Eld. F. Wheeler, from the words, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Jno. iii, 16. A. P. VAN HORN. Meridian, N. Y.

DIED, Sept. 22, 1866, at No. 82, School Street, Chicago, Sr. R. M. Place, wife of Bro. E. D. Place, aged 46 years and 3 days.

Sr. Place was loved by all who knew her, and died in hope of the life to come. She leaves a husband and only son to mourn the loss of a kind mother and beloved companion. WILLIAM RUSSELL.

DIED, at West Windsor, Sept. 15, 1866, of whooping cough, Alma M., our youngest daughter, aged 7 months and 21 days. At the funeral, Bro. Newman made some very appropriate remarks on the resurrection of the dead. J. F. & M. L. CARMAN.

DIED, in Jamaica, Vermont, Aug. 23, 1866, of heart disease and dry mortification, my beloved brother, Jared A. Wilder, aged 21 years, 9 months and 21 days. He left a bright hope of a glorious resurrection when the Lifegiver comes, to call forth the sleeping dead from their dusty beds.

“In the resurrection morning, When our Saviour Christ appears, We’ll again embrace our brother, In a land that’s free from tears.” DAVID F. WILDER.

DIED, of congestion of the lungs, in Watrousville, Tuscola Co., Mich., Ada J., daughter of C. A. and R. E. Wilbur, aged three years and twelve days. May this affliction lead the dear parents to labor, more fervently for a part in the first Resurrection. J. BYINGTON.
