Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Newfane, Niagara Co., N. Y., March 11, 1870, of consumption of the liver, Ida Estell, daughter of Geo. B. and Mary J. Gaskill, aged seven years, seven months, and five days. We feel it a deep affliction to part with one so justly dear; but we hope to meet where no parting tears are shed, no farewell look is given.

No night of weariness, No sleepless eye, No unknown shadow Hovering nigh. No night of sorrow, With bitter moan, No mournful lament Or “left alone.” No night of death, No farewell tear, No loved ones parted, No anxious fear; But harps, and crown, and songs alway, And bright, eternal, joyous day. GEO. B. & M. J. GASKILL.

SR. M. A. LYONS writes from Somerset, Vt., that her husband was killed by the falling of a tree, on Tuesday, March 8, 1870. She has, in her affliction, the consolation of knowing that he was an honest seeker after truth.

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Delaware Co., Iowa, March 9, 1870, my beloved companion in life, Sarah Youll, aged 39 years. She embraced the present truth in the summer of 1864, under the preaching of Bro. R. F. Andrews, and since then has stood firmly for all the commandments of God and testimony of Jesus. Since her stay at the Institute last spring, she has enjoyed much of the presence of God, and lived in harmony with the teaching of the apostle, willing to know nothing but Christ and him crucified. JAMES YOULL.
