Obituary Notices.

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

On the night before May 27, sister Emma Twist died, in the twenty-fifth year of her age, near Lima, Walworth Co., Wis. She had long suffered from disease, and occasionally from insanity. In an unguarded moment, she went away, laid herself across the track, and was severed in two by the cars. This sad accident has caused much grief among her mourning relatives. She was a very quiet and conscientious girl in her lifetime, beloved by all who knew her.

A funeral sermon was preached May 29, in the U. B. meeting-house, to a large and attentive congregation. J. MATTESON.

Fell asleep in Jesus, near Sharpsville, Tipton Co., Ind., May 26, 1873, sister Margaret E. Covert, wife of Bro. Williamson T. Covert, aged thirty-two years, three months, and two days.

Sister Covert embraced the present truth about five years ago. Since that time, she has endeavored to live up to all the light which has shone upon her pathway. During her last sickness, she was fully resigned to the will of the Lord in her case. She died in full assurance that she should have a part in the first resurrection, in full faith of the Saviour’s soon coming to wake the saints, change the living, and gather them home to rest. She leaves a companion, two children, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. They mourn not as those who have no hope. Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14. S. H. LANE.
