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

DIED, in Manlius, Onondaga Co., N. Y., May 17, 1869, widow Abigail E. Gridley, aged 89 years. Sr. G., with her companion, was among the early settlers of the town of Manlius, she having resided in that town sixty-nine years. She professed religion in early life, and embraced the present truth about nineteen years since. She was an ardent lover of the Sabbath of the Lord, and of the doctrine of immortality alone through Christ. She was a consistent Christian, and the blessed hope sustained her in her declining years.
