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

DIED, in Ridgeway, Orleans Co., N. Y., Jan. 18, 1870, at the residence of her son-in-law, Horace Mead, our beloved sister in Christ, Laura Gaskill, widow of Geo. B. Gaskill, and the mother of a numerous family, most of whom are members of the Olcott church. Her death was sudden, as she was in apparent health but a week before; disease unknown, several physicians of different schools being unable to determine. The funeral was held in the Christian chapel at Orangeport, Jan. 20. Text, Rev. 14:13. We then laid her to rest by the side of her husband who died in the Advent faith before the light of the third message came, in the full assurance that the voice of the Son of God will soon burst those graves and bring forth the peaceful sleepers to a glorious immortality. She leaves a numerous family of children and grandchildren, most of whom are striving to serve God by keeping his commandments. May God bless the entire family, and help them all to heed the counsel of their dear departed mother; for in so doing they will obey God and get a preparation to meet their parents in immortality at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
