Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Rochester, N. Y., Oct. 16, 1868, of typhoid fever, after an illness of three weeks, our beloved brother, William A. Gonter, aged nearly 22 years. He was converted from the world to the present truth about two years since; and his experience, from that time forward, was marked with many crosses. But he made steady progress in the heavenly journey. His great anxiety was that he might be right in the sight of God. The most heart-searching truths seemed to be ever welcome to him, and he labored earnestly to correct the wrongs of his past life. There are few of our young brethren so dear to me as was this brother who now sleeps in death. Would that I could see in many of them the same decision of character and singleness of purpose to serve God. He has fallen asleep in hope of eternal life at the resurrection of the just. May his bereaved wife be sustained by the consolation of the blessed hope. J. N. ANDREWS.
FELL asleep, June 11, 1868, at Hastings, N. Y., Rosa, only daughter of Bro. and Sr. Wm. Bovee, of typhoid fever, aged 16 years. She was a loving and obedient child, and had many friends. A large congregation attended her funeral, and listened to the word spoken from John v, 27, 29. Two Sabbath Schools were present, and sang some of her favorite hymns. One was, “I want to be an angel, And with the angels stand.” ALEXANDER ROSS.
DIED, at Syracuse, N. Y., July 4, 1868, Stephen Trowbridge, aged 51 years. His death was the result of a lingering consumption of the bowels, rendered acute by a journey through some of the Western States in pursuit of a home. He was a believer in present truth; has been an observer of the Sabbath of the Bible for a number of years, and a man of staunch integrity. He was unable to get any further than Syracuse, and died 25 miles from home. He sent to Roosevelt for some of the brethren. Their presence and prayer seemed to comfort him much. He rests in hope. Remarks by the writer from Heb. ix, 27, 28. ALEXANDER ROSS.
