Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Townsend, Sandusky Co., Ohio, March 27, 1871, sister Sybil Greenman, in the eighty-eighth year of her age, after an illness of three months. She leaves six children to mourn her loss. For upwards of seventy years, she has observed the Sabbath of the Lord, being connected with the Seventh-day Baptists until some seventeen years ago, when she embraced the doctrine of the near-coming of Christ under the proclamation of the third angel’s message, and united with the S. D. Adventists.

She has lived a consistent Christian life, always punctual in the performance of duty. She bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and resignation.

“Asleep in Jesus! Soon to rise, When the last trump shall rend the skies; Then burst the fetters of the tomb, To wake in full, immortal bloom.

O. F. GUILFORD.

DIED, March 31, 1871, in Albany, Green Co., Wis., of inflammation of the bowels, Ann, daughter of Wm. and Margaret Francis, wife of William Reece, aged 21 years, 8 months.

A chain of nine links is broken by the cold hand of death, thus taking away the youngest of the number. Shall this chain be an unbroken chain in the morning of the resurrection? Shall we all be there, where husband and wife and children meet to part no more? Words of consolation were spoken by Eld. Meredith, from Luke 20:35, 36.

THOMAS FRANCIS.
