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

DIED, in Otisville, Genesee Co., Mich., May 1, 1870, of congestive chills, sister Matilda Johnson, aged 65 years.

Sister Johnson embraced the truths of the third angel's message when the tent was in Vassar, in 1865, and connected herself with the Vassar church soon after its organization.

She loved the truth more than her tea and tobacco which she had used for many years, but was opposed by those who should have been her first friends. But now her afflictions are ended and she sleeps, leaving the witness with us that she will have part in the first resurrection.
