By Eliza Emmerson

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

DIED, at Grove Lake, Minn., March 17, of consumption, our much beloved, widowed sister, Mariah Judd, in the 31st year of her age. She leaves two children, an aged mother, and many near and dear friends to mourn their loss. She has been a strict commandment-keeper for the past year, and fell asleep in Jesus with the full assurance of a part in the first resurrection. For two weeks before her death, her sufferings were most intense, which she bore with great patience, and would exclaim, Nevertheless, Father, not my will, but thine be done. She left her children entirely in the hands of God, with the full assurance that he would never leave them nor forsake them. She exhorted all her friends to walk in the straight and narrow path, and meet her where parting would never come. She felt that the time was very near when Jesus would appear and call his children home to dwell with him forever and ever. Her funeral was attended the 19th. Remarks from Bro. Hover, Methodist.
