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

DIED, Jan 9, at the residence of her son, Eld. James White, Battle Creek, Betsey White, wife of Dea. John White, aged nearly eighty-three years. Her life was one of remarkable devotion to the cause of Christ, and her example was such as ever to recommend the religion of Jesus.

As early as 1842, she became deeply interested in the doctrine of the speedy advent of the Saviour, and this faith she cherished till she fell asleep. For some ten years preceding her death, she was a conscientious observer of the seventh day as the Sabbath of the Lord.

In June last she was stricken with paralysis. In consequence of this, herself and husband were removed to the residence of their son, where she received every kindness and attention till her decease. Her evidence of acceptance with God was very clear in her last hours; and she peacefully resigned herself to death, in the blest assurance of a part in the resurrection of the just.

Our aged father White must soon follow her to the grave. But in his feebleness he is sustained in this great bereavement by the hope of the gospel. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, who spoke briefly from 1 Thess. 4: 18. J. N. ANDREWS.

DIED, Dec. 26, 1870, in Greenbush, Clinton Co., Mich., of consumption and chronic inflammation of the stomach, my dear mother, Rhoda E., wife of David Sevy. She has been a believer in the third angel’s message nearly fourteen years. She united with the S. D. A. church of Greenbush at its organization, and endeavored to live a consistent Christian life until her death. She died in hope of eternal life where trials and troubles are no more. O. B. SEVY.
