Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, May 8, 1872, near Riceland, Freeborn Co., Minn., of small-pox, Emma Peterson, only daughter of Bro. James and sister Margaret Peterson, aged five years, seven months, and twenty-one days. JOHN F. HANSON.

DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., May 13, 1872, of consumption of the bowels, Henry Lyon, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. Bro. Lyon was born in the State of New York, in 1796. From New York, he removed to Michigan, and was among the very first to commence the observance of the Bible Sabbath when the doctrine was introduced into this State twenty years ago. He soon removed to Battle Creek, and when the Office was located here, served, for a time, as one of the Publishing Committee of the REVIEW. From the time of his connecting himself with this cause, he took an active interest in all the moves made to forward the work. Liberal when the cause owed its very existence to the liberality of its few friends, faithful and earnest in the discharge of his Christian duties, we believe he has made life a success in the true sense of the term, by securing a hope against the time to come. Funeral discourse by Eld. J. N. Andrews to a large and sympathizing congregation, May 15.

DIED, in Constantia, N. Y., April 28, 1872, Bro. Harvey W. Hitchcock, aged sixty-four years. Bro. H. became interested in the service of Christ in early life. About twelve years since, he became interested in the third angel's message. The Sabbath to him was a delight. For the last few months of his life he manifested an increasing interest in, and a love for, the truth. He leaves a companion and three children to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not without hope. Discourse at the funeral by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. F. WHEELER.
