“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died, of consumption, in Jay, Saginaw Co., Mich., March 11, 1876, Bro. Daniel Disbrow, aged about forty-eight years. He leaves a wife and daughter to mourn his absence and the loss of his counsel, but they sorrow not as others which have no hope. Bro. Disbrow was born in Rochester, N. Y. He was a member of the close communion Baptist denomination about fourteen years, but accepted the Bible Sabbath and its kindred truths under the labors of Eld. Cornell, at Jay, Mich., in 1867, and united with the church of S. D. Adventists there. But on account of the strait testimony, he, with many others, left the body and walked no more with them, until Nov., 1875, when he was recovered again under the labors of Eld. D. M. Canright. He was a great sufferer, but endured all with Christian patience. Funeral services by Eld. I. Lewis, Wesleyan Methodist; text, 2 Tim. 1:10. A. N. Fisher.
Died, in Worcester, Mass., May 27, 1876, Amos Warren, son of W. N. and A. E. Brown, aged six years and three months. His disease was diphtheria, and terminated fatally in less than twenty-six hours after he was attacked. He was a very interesting, affectionate child, and evinced principle in the observance of the Sabbath, in which he had been early instructed. His sufferings were intense, but he rallied not long before his death, and sang that beautiful line,
“Hold the fort; for I am coming.”
We deeply mourn his loss, yet rejoice in the hope that
“When the morn of glory, breaking, Shall light the tomb, Beautiful will be his waking In fadeless bloom.”

Died, near Osceola, Iowa, April 27, 1876, Noble Johnson, aged forty-five years and two months. Bro. Johnson was converted to the truth under Bro. Canright's labors, and has since lived a consistent Christian. He was aware that his departure was near, and spoke often in reference to it. He died calmly, expecting a resurrection when Jesus comes. Funeral discourse by the writer, from John 5:28, 29. A. W. H. Millard.
