Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Hammondsport, Steuben Co., N. Y., Dec. 15, 1870, of consumption, Emma Shults, only daughter of E. S. Decker, in the 22d year of her age.
We visited sister Emma several times during her sickness, and each time found her free in the Lord, and sweetly resigned to his will. At times she enjoyed seasons of holy triumph. This was especially cheering to her mother. In her removal she sees the providence of God, and rejoices that she has at least one child whom she hopes to meet in the morn of Zion's triumphant glory; and they with Jesus ever live. And may this not be all. May God bless to the salvation of the remaining friends, her dying entreaties in their behalf.
Discourse by the writer.
J. W. RAYMOND.
DIED, in Keene, Essex Co., N. Y., Dec. 28, 1870, Aaron S. Beedy, aged 75 years.
Bro. B. made a profession of religion and united with the Free-will Baptist church at about the age of twenty; but in an evil hour he was overcome, and undoubtedly the language of Christ in Matt. 12:45, was true in his case. But last winter and spring, during my labors in this place, he gave attention to the present truth; and although unable, from lameness, to attend meeting much, he became interested in the study of the Bible, and soon commenced the observance of the Sabbath; and during his last illness, he gave good evidence of having repented of, and having been forgiven, the error of his ways.
Discourse at the funeral to a large and attentive audience, from Isa. 38:1, last clause; a text of his own choosing. We laid him away in hope.
S. B. WHITNEY.
DIED, in Greenwood Prairie, Minn., Jan. 17, 1871, of scrofulous tumors, my dear companion, aged 38 years, 2 months, and 28 days.
She embraced present truth about six years ago, and has ever since tried to live it out. She leaves five children to mourn her loss. I would express my thanks for the sympathy and assistance of relatives and friends during her sickness.
M. H. BROWN.
