Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, at Waterloo, Grant Co., Wis., Dec. 7, 1871, sister Mary Ann Robinson, wife of Winthrop Robinson, aged thirty-five years, eleven months, and thirteen days. She leaves a husband and eight children. She embraced the third message about three years ago through the labors of Eld. I. Sanborn, and was beloved by all who knew her. Remarks by the writer from Rev. 14:13. C. W. OLDS.

DIED, in Canaan, Maine, Dec. 14. 1871, of consumption, sister Mary G. Salisbury, wife of Nathaniel K. Salisbury, aged twenty-eight years, and nine months.

Sister S. embraced the Sabbath, in the light of the third angel's message, about four years since, and lived from that time the life of the righteous. Discourse by the writer to a large and candid congregation from Ps. 23:4. ABRAM BARNES.

DIED, in Berkshire, Vt., Jan. 17, 1872, of consumption, Alida I. Kellogg, aged twenty-one years and eight months. Sister Kellogg had entertained religious impressions from childhood until about two years ago when she publicly embraced Christ as her Saviour, was baptized, joined the church, and from that time gave strong evidence that she was a sincere and devoted Christian. During her entire sickness she was perfectly resigned to the will of the Lord, and in her last moments entertained a submissive spirit, and expressed that all was well with her. All her relatives and friends present could but say, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”

Funeral services were held the next Sunday at the new Methodist meeting-house in Richford. About five hundred were in attendance. Text, 1 Cor. 15:21. A. C. BOURDEAU.
