NEVIN—Died, in Lodi, San Joaquin Co., Cal., April 2, Alexander Nevin, aged 78 years and five months. He was buried from the Congregational Church, followed by a large concourse of relatives, friends, and neighbors.

He was born in Pittsburg, Pa.; went to Pickaway County, Ohio, when quite young. Thence to Fulton County, Ill., in 1835, and to Lynn Co., Iowa, in 1840. In 1863 he crossed the plains to California, and settled in San Joaquin County.

For several years he had been a believer in the coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead as the hope of the Christian for future life. He embraced also the faith of the Sabbath of the Lord, which he kept for some time before his death. He read his Bible much the latter part of his life, and fell asleep in hope of the "better resurrection." J. A. D.
