Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

Died, in Monterey, Mich., Oct. 1, 1867, sister A. P. Kenyon, wife of Harvey Kenyon, in the 51st year of her age. Sister K. embraced the Christian religion in her youth. Brother and sister Kenyon moved into the town of Monterey when there were but seven families in the town. She attended the first religious meeting held in Monterey and connected herself with the Methodist church when it was first formed there, of which she remained a worthy and active member until about twelve years since, when she and her husband embraced the faith of the soon coming of the Lord, and the Bible Sabbath; at which point of time, she left her former brethren and connected herself with the Seventh-day Adventists. With us she evinced a consistent, devoted, Christian life.

When she left the Methodist church, one of the members of that church remarked, “It is too bad to lose her. When the church was spiritually dead all around, there was always a living spark that burned at the house of Bro. Kenyon.” The Sabbath but one before her death she attended Bro. Loughborough’s meeting in Allegan, which was the last time she was out from home. She died suddenly of fever, of typhoid type. May the Lord bless and sustain our beloved, afflicted brother who is left alone in feeble health. A funeral sermon was preached to a large, sympathetic, and attentive audience, from Titus 1, 2.
