Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.
FELL asleep in Jesus, Jan. 9, 1879, at Wolf Lake, Noble county, Ind., Bro. Jacob Karr, aged 94 years and 6 months. Father Karr made a profession of religion sixteen years ago, but never united with any church until about one year since, when he became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Wolf Lake. He listened to and embraced the truth about three years ago. Although he was nearly ninety-two years old, and had been addicted to the constant use of tobacco for more than seventy-five years, he gave it up entirely. He was baptized last spring. He seemed devoted, and often spoke in the social meetings. He leaves a large circle of children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by the writer to a large and attentive congregation. S. H. LANE. (Signs of the Times, please copy.)
BRO. JOHN McDONALD, of Beaverville, Ill., died Sept. 19, 1878, in the 76th year of his age. With his companion and their three youngest daughters, he embraced the truth in 1875 under the labors of Eld. R. F. Andrews, and he loved the truth ever after. He died in hope. A large family mourn their loss. T. M. STEWARD.
N. S. ELLIOT died of consumption at the home of his father, John R. Elliot, in Mechanicsburg, Henry county, Ind., Jan. 17, 1879, aged 22 years, 11 months, and 7 days. He was an earnest worker in the church and Sabbath-school, where he will be greatly missed. But the afflicted parents and sorrowing friends do not mourn without hope. Sermon by the writer. Text John 11:25. W. W. SHARP.
FELL asleep in Mooresville, Mo., Dec. 4, 1878, Anna H., infant daughter of P. and H. Dawson; also in Corunna, Shiawassee county, Mich., Dec. 31, while on their way home from Missouri, their son, Floyd A., aged 4 years, 11 months, and 17 days. These sweet buds of promise sleep to wake at the voice of Jesus. S. LUCINDA CRANE.
DIED at his residence near Davis City, Iowa, Jan. 18, 1879, George Rockwell, aged 45 years. He joined the Mormon church fourteen years ago, but on hearing part of a course of lectures, he commenced keeping the Sabbath. About a year ago he was baptized by Bro. C. A. Washburn. A wife and four children mourn his loss. We believe he sleeps in Jesus. Funeral discourse from Job 14: 14. A. P. SCOTT.
