OBITUARY.

By Alonzo T. Jones

DIED at his residence on Pataha Prairie, W. T., on Sunday April 4, 1880, Bro. Eli Thornton, aged 43 years. Bro. Thornton embraced present truth in 1878, under the preaching of Elders Van Horn and Raymond. He was thrown from a horse the evening after the Sabbath, April 3, was taken up, and remained unconscious until his death on Sunday morning. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his loss, as also the whole Pataha church. Yet we sorrow not as those who have no hope. May the Father of the fatherless, and the Judge of the widow look upon these. ALONZO T. JONES.
