Obituary.

DIED, near Milton, Umatilla Co., Oregon, April 19, 1878, my beloved wife, Elizabeth Smith, aged 25 years and 6 months and 18 days. Her sickness was painful but she endured her sufferings with much patience and resignation. She embraced present truth eight years ago, under the labors of Brother J. Bartlett, in western Iowa, she was baptized by Brother R. M. Kilgore in the spring of 1874. She lived an exemplary life. Our hearts ache as we see what death's ruthless hands have done, yet we believe she will awake and come forth when the last trump shall sound. She leaves a husband, five little children, and many friends to mourn their loss. Letters of condolence from our absent friends will be gladly received. Discourse by Brother S. Maxon, from Phil. 3:10, 11.

“She sleeps in Jesus! blessed sleep.”
