Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Vermillion, Dacotah, May 25, 1873, of consumption, Annie M., daughter of R. P. and A. B. Stewart, aged nineteen years, one month, and seven days. She died in hope of having a part in the first resurrection. Words were spoken on the occasion by Eld. Hurlbutt. R. P. STEWART.

DIED, at Neosho Falls, Kan., Friday, June 13, of pleurisy and pneumonia, also inflammatory fever and rheumatism, our dear mother, Jane Glover, wife of C. S. Glover, aged fifty-eight years, two months, and five days.

She was taken sick April 25. Seven weeks, she suffered severe pain. Her disease finally terminated in inflammation of the heart.

For twenty years, she has been a firm believer in the S. D. A. faith. Her belief in the soon coming of Jesus, and her preparation for that event, will not be in vain; for the trumpet of God will soon sound, and he will gather the sleeping saints, when our dear mother will arise to dwell forever where there is no more suffering.
