Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Leavenworth, Kansas, Nov. 15, Mary A. Kimball, wife of Bro. E. M. Kimball (deaf and dumb), aged 54 years. Sister K. embraced the truth in this place (Anamosa, Iowa), under the labors of Bro. M. E. Cornell, in 1860. We learn from Bro. K. that the truth sustained her until the last, and she earnestly entreated her children to meet her in the first resurrection. Wm. V. Field.

Died, of consumption, Dec. 15, 1869, at the house of her uncle, David Bonton, in Penfield, Mich., Betsey J. Benedict, in the 25th year of her age. She was baptized in Battle Creek, where she, with her parents, was then living, about twelve years since. From that time till her death, she remained steadfast in the faith, and was an ornament to the cause wherever her lot was cast. She excelled as a teacher, in which occupation, by over-exertion, she induced the disease which has thus early terminated her useful labors.

Bro. White spoke at the funeral in our house of worship in Battle Creek, to a large congregation, from 1 Cor. xv, 26. This was a very interesting occasion. Bro. W. enjoyed good liberty in dwelling upon the future prospects of one, apparently so sure of a part in the first resurrection. U. S.

Died, in Battle Creek, Nov. 30, 1869, Delmer Eugene, son of Asa A., and Martha S. Lockwood, aged 8 months and five days. J. H. W.
