DIED, in Newark, Rock Co. Wis., Aug. 15, 1866, Frank H., only child of H. W., and Nancy Decker, aged 1 year and 11 months. So fade the flowers. Words of comfort were offered by the writer from Jer. xxxi, 15, 17. Jesus will soon gather his lambs to his arms. T. M. STEWARD.
DIED, in Monroe, Wis., Aug. 21, 1866, of consumption, Sr. Clara, wife of Oliver H. Pratt, aged 22 years. Sr. P. had been a firm believer in the third angel's message for the last four years. She suffered much, and, when she found her end had come, sweetly resigned her spirit in her heavenly Father's hand, until the morn of the resurrection. Funeral attended by the writer. Text, 1 Cor. xv, 26. She rests in hope of life soon to come. T. M. STEWARD.
DIED, in Athens, Maine, of dropsy, Ellen M., daughter of Paul and Diantha Giles, aged 20 years, and 3 months. Three years ago she experienced religion, and was baptized. She possessed a kind and amiable disposition, which doubly endeared her to all her friends. It is seldom that I visit such a sick room as hers, so calm, so peaceful. There was sweet submission written on every feature. A father and mother, and a large family of brothers and sisters are left to mourn her loss. May they remember the solemn promises they made to meet her in the kingdom. Then all will be well with them as with her. “There's perpetual calm and glory Past the surging billows' roar.” Sermon by Elder Goodrich. CHAS. STRATTON.
DIED, July 25, 1866, in Jackson Township, Clark County, Iowa, in the forty-first year of his age, our beloved brother Isaac Jones, after a short, distressing, and rather mysterious, illness of five days. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss. Bro. Jones had been an observer of the Sabbath for over eight years previous to his death. He was baptised by Eld. M. E. Cornell, while laboring with the tent at Osceola, seven years' ago this Summer. He was esteemed by all those who had an opportunity of becoming the best acquainted with him, as a man of honest, upright, character, and one who was trying to live a Christian life. Funeral sermon, July 29, by Eld. R. W. Reed, from the words, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” to a large and attentive congregation of friends and relatives. M. W. NEEL.
