By C. O. Taylor

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Died in Bangor, Franklin Co., N. Y., March 21, 1869, of a combination of diseases common to old age, Sr. Mary Butler, aged 81 years next May. Sr. B. gave her heart to the Saviour fifty years ago. She embraced the Advent faith twenty-six years ago, and for sixteen years she has been keeping the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. She loved the truth, also those that loved it. She had a generous heart, which was always prompting her to acts of kindness and mercy. The saints found a welcome home at her house. She believed Jesus's coming was near. Yet for some time has not expected to live until then. She died believing Jesus to be the Life-giver, and that she should have a part in the first resurrection.
