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

Died, near Patricksburg, Ind., Feb. 27, 1874, sister Elizabeth, daughter of sister Nancy A. Beatty, in the twenty-third year of her age. For some time she had been suffering with lung disease; recently she took the measles, which hastened her death. She embraced the present truth about three years ago under the labors of the Brn. Lane, since which time she has been striving for a home in the kingdom of God.

Also, March 1, 1874, her brother, Robert, the only son of sister Nancy A. Beatty, of measles, in the twenty-first year of his age.

Also, March 3, 1874, sister Anna, of the same family, in the eighteenth year of her age, of measles, followed by lung fever and erysipelas.

Thus in one week's time death has taken three from one family. A widowed mother and four sisters mourn their loss. W. W. Sharp.

Died, Feb. 19, 1874, in Prescott, Wis., after a brief illness, Nelson E. Olive, aged fourteen years, six months, and ten days. His sudden death leaves his parents in great grief. From the time that his case seemed hopeless he appeared unconscious, and died without one farewell word to those who loved him.

“Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down.” J. S. Olive.

Died, in Stratford, Fulton Co., N. Y., August 12, 1873, my mother, Mrs. Betsey Cady, aged 84 years. She commenced keeping the Sabbath in New Bedford, under the labors of Bro. Bates. Mrs. E. C. Brazel.

Died, in Nashua, N. H., Feb. 26, of consumption, sister Ellen W. Searles, aged fifty years. Her life was for many years that of a devout Christian, and her last days were eminently peaceful and blessed. J. N. Andrews.
