Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.
DIED, of congestion of the lungs, in River Falls, Pierce Co., Wis., on the 25th of April, Unie May, youngest daughter of John and Maria McMillan, aged 8 months and 3 days.
“They shall come again from the land of the enemy.” Jer. xxxi, 16.
J. McMILLAN.
DIED, March 5, of chronic bronchitis, Andrew Edson Wescott, son of Andrew A. and Harriet J. Wescott, aged four months and twenty days.
H. J. W.
DIED, very suddenly, in Allegan, Allegan Co., Mich., May 29, Bro. C. Southwell, in the 68th year of his age. He left his house soon after eating his dinner in usual health to turn some cattle out of his lot, and put up the fence. About fifteen minutes after, his son passed that way and saw his father lying on the ground. As he attempted to raise him up he breathed twice and expired. The doctor pronounced it a fit of apoplexy.
Bro. Southwell was a quiet, peaceful citizen, who gave his attention to his own household. Hence his children are deeply afflicted in his sudden death. He had lived a widower eleven years, and left five sons and four daughters. The four daughters have been members with us in the Monterey church several years. About three years since Bro. S. made profession of his faith and was baptized and united with us. It seemed that the Lord suffered him to pass away in as quiet and peaceable manner as he had tried to live. We believe he sleeps in Jesus. The commodious school house was filled to overflowing, with sympathising friends who listened attentively to the funeral services.
JOSEPH BATES.
Monterey, June 3d, 1867.
DIED, at Marquette, Wis., April 29, 1867, of convulsions, Florence, daughter of James E., and Mary E. Farrar, aged 3 years and 2 months.
Another little suffering life is ended, another precious treasure is enshrined in dust to sweetly sleep till the Life-giver comes. Appropriate and comforting remarks were made at the funeral by Bro. T. McDowell.
R. C. BAKER.
