Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, in Burlington, Mich., Oct. 4, 1871, of consumption, sister Jane Guyer, aged 24 years and two months. It became evident to all, some six months ago, that consumption had marked her as its victim. She sank gradually until within about three weeks of her death, when she failed rapidly. She suffered the most intense pain, yet she bore it patiently, and said she was willing to submit to the Lord's will. She was out of her right mind at times, and seemed to fear she should do or say something wrong. We hope to meet her on the evergreen shore. Discourse by Eld. Bennett, Methodist, from Phil. 1:21: “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” C. Z. JUNE.
DIED, at his residence in Burlington, Oct. 11, 1871, Bro. Charles Osborn, aged 49 years, 11 months, and 21 days. Bro. O. was attacked with bilious remittent fever, was quite sick for a number of days, got better, then took cold and his disease went to his lungs and terminated in quick consumption. Discourse by Bro. Pierce, from Job 14:14, first clause: “If a man die, shall he live again?” Thus one who a few days ago bid fair for a long life as any we knew, is taken from our midst. But we have the hope that when the trump shall sound he will come forth clad in immortality. C. Z. JUNE.
DIED, in Mound City, Kan., Oct. 4, 1871, of consumption, Almira E. Cook, daughter of J. H. and M. M. Cook, in the 20th year of her age. She had a gratifying experience, and firm faith that the grave would hold her in its dominion but a short time. Funeral discourse by Eld. Kimsey, in which life only in Christ, in harmony with the views of the deceased, was plainly presented to the people. JESSE H. COOK, MARY M. COOK.
DIED, near Iowa City, Iowa, Sept. 21, 1871, of diphtheria, at the age of 5 years, 1 month, and 4 days, Clara Adelia, oldest daughter of Elbridge and Lurinza A. Green. Funeral discourse by Eld. Hay, of the Christian church. ELBRIDGE GREEN.
DIED, last March, suddenly, of heart disease, Hollis Randall, of Natick, Mass., formerly of Portland, Me., aged 62 years. He died a believer in those glorious truths which he held dear for many years. S. E. RANDALL.
