Obituary.

LEA.—Died in the town of Verona, N. Y., Oct. 22, 1883, Mrs. Emily B. Lea, wife of Charles Lea, aged 64 years and 6 months. Sister Lea was born in England, and came to this country over thirty years ago. After embracing the Sabbath of Jehovah, she was baptized by Eld. C. M. Lewis, and united with the First Verona Seventh-day Baptist Church. She subsequently united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Rome, of which she was a worthy member at the time of her death. A devoted woman, one who feared God and kept his commandments, she was respected and loved by those who knew her character. Her sufferings have been long and severe, but amid it all she trusted in God and many times experienced his especial blessing and relief from pain in answer to prayer. She leaves a husband, son, and daughter, all Christians, and looking forward in hope, to the great day of meeting when there will be no more partings. Eld. H. D. Clark of Verona assisted the writer in the funeral services. Discourse from Ps. 39:4. E. W. WHITNEY.

WILLARD.—Died of croup, Oct. 24, Eva Blanch Willard, daughter of Julian and Lovina Willard, aged 5 years, 3 months, and 19 days. Her suffering was very severe, but only lasted one night. The parents sorrow not as those who have no hope, for they feel assured that if faithful they will meet their loved one again. Mrs. CYNTHA HUTCHINGS. Burrough Valley, Nov. 15, 1883.
