OBITUARY.

By A. K. Atteberry

Scott.—Died of pulmonary consumption, at her home near Jeffersonville, Wayne Co., Ill., July 26, 1880, Sister Minerva J. Scott, in the thirty-sixth year of her age. Sister Scott embraced religion when about twelve years of age, and united with the Methodist Church. She remained a member of this church until 1871, when, under the labors of Eld. G. W. Colcord, she embraced the doctrines peculiar to the S. D. Adventists; in 1874 she united with the Keenville church, of which she remained a consistent and acceptable member until her death. She bore her protracted sickness with Christian fortitude and resignation, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. A husband and four children mourn her loss. Remarks by the writer from Rev. 14:13. A. K. Atteberry.
