Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, at my father's residence, near Afton, Union County, Iowa, May 19, 1869, my eldest brother, George W. Bonifield, in the twentieth year of his age. George had a strong hold on life, but after thirteen days' incessant suffering, death claimed him as its victim. He was a noble-hearted young man, loved and respected by all who knew him. He gave evidence of his acceptance with God and rejoiced even in his affliction. H. J. BONIFIELD.

DIED, at her father's residence, near Woodburn, Clark Co., Iowa, March 29, 1869, of consumption, Sr. Sarah Neal, daughter of J. B. and Anna Neal, in her 26th year. Sister S. embraced the present truth about nine years ago, and stood firm through the many discouragements of the past, and died in the blessed hope of having part in the first resurrection. She has been an invalid for about twelve years, and especially has she been an extreme sufferer for the last year, but the Christian's hope has ever buoyed her up, and been a source of comfort in her hours of suffering; and she leaves us with the blessed hope that if we live as worthily as she, we soon shall meet her where parting will be no more. MAHLON W. NEAL.

DIED, in Walton, Mich., June 4, 1869, of spinal meningitis, Leo Delance, son of David H. and Elizabeth L. Lamson, aged 5 years and 4 months. Funeral discourse Sabbath, June 5, to a large concourse of sympathizing friends, from Jer. xxxi, 15-17. WM. C. GAGE.

DIED, in Olcott, N. Y., May 31, 1869, our little Luther, aged three years, four months, and fourteen days. ELIJAH & MARY GASKILL.
