Obituary Notices.

By Mary Patrick

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
EDWARD HENRY, son of Jerome and Abby Benson, of Rochester, Minn., aged 9 years, departed this life the fifth day of last June. Having received permission to go in bathing, he with three other boys went into the water; but Edward ventured too far into the deep and rapid current, and was carried down stream. His companions dressed themselves, and taking the clothes of the lost boy carried them to his mother, thus breaking to her the heart-rending news of the sudden death of her sprightly boy. The body was found about noon the next day.
He was generally a good boy, and obedient to his parents, regretting any wrong action. The parents mourn for their child; but not without hope.
MARY PATRICK.
