Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Madrid, N. Y., March 20, 1868, of consumption, Betsey M. Wright, aged 28 years and 23 days.

Sr. Wright had been for several years a consistent and practical believer in the present truth; and in her last illness was patient and resigned although a great sufferer. Toward the last, all that seemed wanting to make her triumph complete was the privilege of shouting victory over death and the grave, which we expect she will have soon; for we committed her to the dust with the assurance that her flesh rests in hope.

Discourse by the writer from Ps. lxxix, 20.

S. B. WHITNEY.

DIED, at Fort Ridgely, Minn., March 6, 1868, of quick consumption, Martha, wife of Bro. Amos Bliss, and daughter of Bro. Barton Crandall, aged nearly twenty-nine years. She leaves a husband, parents, and brothers and sisters, to mourn her loss. But they mourn not without hope; for Sr. Bliss did possess a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price; and which will entitle her to an inheritance in the new earth, where will be an abundance of peace. Remarks by the writer from Rev. xiv, 13. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”

S. PIERCE.
