Obituary Notices.

By C. O. Taylor

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

Died, at the residence of Elder S. B. Whitney, in Potsdam, N. Y., Jan. 6, 1869, sister Almira S. Coburn, aged 76 years. Forty-four years ago she devoted herself to the cause of her Saviour. She commenced obeying the fourth commandment about 1848, under the labors of Bro. J. Bates. During these years she endeavored to follow Christ. She was successful in forming a Christian character, and found it a great comfort during the last seven years of her helpless and suffering life. The three last years, she was as helpless as a child, made so by rheumatism and palsy. The blessed hope sustained her in all of these weary days and nights. She gave good evidence till the last that she sleeps in Jesus. A companion and eight children mourn her departure, yet not without hope. Sermon by the writer, to an attentive congregation. Text, Heb. ii, 14.
