OBITUARY.

By J. A. WILCOX

Fell asleep in Jesus in Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 1, 1860, Emily DuBois, youngest child of sister Elizabeth DuBois, aged 9 months. Bro. Jacob Ayers made some very appropriate and comforting remarks for the consolation of the bereaved mother and friends of the deceased, from 1 Cor. xv, and also from a portion of scripture found in Rev. xiv, 13: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit,” &c. It is now about one and a half years since our dear sister DuBois was called by a mournful providence to follow the lifeless remains of her husband to the cold and silent tomb.
Dear brethren and sisters, we would request your earnest prayers to Him who has promised to be a husband to the widow and a father to the fatherless, in behalf of our dear sister, and Caroline DuBois, her only surviving child, in this sorrowful hour of affliction and bereavement. J. A. WILCOX.
