By H. S. Gurney

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

Died, in Memphis, Mich., April 8, 1869, sister J. A. Merrill, wife of Bro. H. Merrill, aged 52 years. After suffering for many years, of many physicians, she eventually died of lung fever. The friends mourn not as those who have no hope. Funeral discourse at the S. D. A. meeting-house by Elder Mackie, from the words, “Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.” Matt. v. 5. A large congregation listened attentively to the truth concerning the saints’ final inheritance. H. S. Gurney.
