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

DIED, at the residence of Bro. Samuel M. Holly, Mount Pleasant, Whiteside Co., Ill., Dec. 26, 1867, in the 96th year of her age, Mrs. Phebe Ann Stone, mother of Bro. H. C. Stone. She was a praying woman from the earliest recollection of her grand-children to the day of her death. The funeral service was attended by the writer, Dec. 29, 1867. Subject, The Christian's Hope. R. F. ANDREWS.

DIED, in Tuscarora, Steuben Co., N. Y., Dec. 25, 1867, sister Manervilla Marsh, wife of Bro. A. J. Marsh, aged 41 years, 11 months, 25 days.

She embraced the Sabbath of the Lord and the third angel's message under the labors of Bro. Van Horn and Canright in Watrousville, Tuscola Co., Mich. Soon after, the family removed to Steuben Co., N. Y., where they have lived about two years. Last summer, she united with the S. D. A. church in Farmington, Pa., when Bro. Whitney attended Quarterly Meeting there. She has never wavered from present truth, but was a strong believer in the soon coming of the Lord, and endeavored to sustain her profession by zealously engaging in the work of reform, into which God is leading his people. She has left four children, the youngest eight weeks old. Bro. Marsh needs the sympathy and prayers of the church. He mourns, but not without hope—the hope of meeting her in the morning of the first resurrection. The Lord grant that we may meet her in that glad morning. R. F. CORTRELL.
