DIED, in New Shoreham, R. I., Apr. 21, 1866, Mrs. Lucy A. Sheffield, wife of Mr. Edmund Sheffield, and only daughter of Peleg and Lucy Champlin, in the 86th year of her age. She died in hope of a better resurrection. She leaves five children, commended to God, desiring her husband to bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. May he, with them, prepare to meet her at the resurrection of the just.

“Wife and mother now has left them, And her loss they deeply feel, But while God has thus bereft us, He can all their sorrows heal.”

P. C. RODMAN.

DIED, in New Shoreham, R. I., June 14, 1866, Mary L. Dunn, aged 15 years, only daughter of Barrilla B. and Mary R. Dunn. They deeply mourn, but not without hope. About eight months before her death, Mary gave her heart to the Saviour, whom she loved to confess, and became remarkably fond of reading good books, especially the Bible.

“Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not deplore thee. Though sorrow and darkness encompass the tomb; The Saviour has passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of his love is the guide through the gloom.”

P. C. RODMAN.
