Obituary Notices.

By John Norton Loughborough; Ellis Cobb; D. H. Larson

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.

DIED, in Rives, Jackson Co., Mich., Feb. 26, after a protracted illness, of consumption, Alanson Henry, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss. They mourn, not without hope as he tried to seek the Lord, and left an evidence of his acceptance and pardon. Remarks by the writer on the funeral occasion to a large and attentive audience.

J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.

DIED, in Brookfield, Vt., of consumption, Jan. 6, 1867, Mary Allen, aged 22 years, daughter of Amass and Roxana Allen.

Also, in Warren, Vt., Feb. 20, 1867, of consumption, sister Roxana Allen, aged 54 years.

Sister Allen came down to her death in full hope of immortality through Christ. Thus has our afflicted brother been called in less than one year to part with two daughters and his companion. But he is sustained by the hope of meeting them again, where his now sightless eyes will be opened to behold them in immortal beauty.

ELLIS COBB.

FELL asleep, near Charlotte, Mich., Jan. 9, 1867, sister C. M. Willis, in the thirty-seventh year of her age.

Sister W. was a faithful and exemplary member of the S. D. A. church, at Charlotte, and an earnest advocate of the Health Reform.

She had been suffering for some time with ill health, and by constant care and anxiety enticed by the sickness of friends, was finally prostrated with fever of the typhoid form, from which she never recovered.

Gone to rest with her sweet babes, who, years ago, were laid in the silent tomb, awaiting the voice of the Life-giver. A husband and daughter, an only child, are left to mourn. May they obtain a hope with the people of God, and meet in a better country.

Appropriate and impressive remarks were made on the occasion by Eld. Parmlee, of the United Brethren order, from 1 Thess. iv, 14.
