Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.
DIED, at Perry's Mills, N. Y., Jan. 13, 1867, Thomas Whipple, in the 95th year of his age.
Bro. W. was the oldest inhabitant of this place, and one of its earliest settlers, having lived here nearly sixty years.
Strictly moral in his principles and conduct, and always entertaining great regard for Christianity and its adherents, he however made no public profession of religion till awakened by the preaching of the advent doctrine in 1842, or about that time, when he joined the Wesleyan Methodist church, but withdrew from it under the proclamation of the second angel's message.
He commenced keeping the Sabbath in 1852, and embraced the truths of the third message as fully as could be expected of one of his advanced age and limited experience. His religious sympathy was with this people, joining the church soon after its organization.
Always cheerful and happy, he met the monster Death without fear; and we hope to meet him in the morning of blessed re-union.
S. B. WHITNEY.
DIED in the town of Red Cedar, Dunn Co., Wis., Feb. 4, 1867, of typhoid fever, Orpha E. Wood, aged 12 years 5 months and 10 days.
Also, at the same place, of typhus fever, Feb. 10, 1867, Samuel A. Wood. These were children of J. P. and Catherine Wood. Words of comfort by the writer from Jer. xxxi, 15–17.
C. H. ROGERS.
DIED, in Rindge, N. H., Feb. 15, 1867, at the house of her son, Bro. Samuel Martin, sister Rebecca Martin, aged 87 years. She had been a Christian for many years, was in the advent faith in 1843, and among the first to embrace the third angel's message. She lived an exemplary life, beloved by her children and grandchildren, as also by all the church, and fell asleep in full expectation of soon awakening to immortality and eternal life when Jesus comes.
L. W. HASTINGS.
