“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died, in Emmet, Mich., April 9, 1875, of inflammation of the bowels, Mary H. Luke, daughter of P. and M. J. Luke, aged 28 years and 7 months. She was baptized at the age of 18, and endeavored faithfully to live a Christian life. Her parents and remaining brother and sister, all happily united in the same faith and hope, look forward with new determinations to meet her when Jesus shall gather his jewels from the land of the enemy. She was beloved by all who knew her, and the neighbors manifested their sympathy by largely attending the funeral, fifty-four carriages joining in the procession. V. S.
Died, of paralysis, at the residence of his son, Bro. H. Howe, in Geneseo, N. Y., April 26, 1875, Asa Howe, aged 81 years. He embraced the Sabbath about twenty years ago under the labors of Eld. Ingraham. Previous to that time, he had been a minister in the Christian denomination, but has not labored in public since he became a Sabbath-keeper, though he has tried to live a consistent Christian life. About one year ago he had a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. He bore his affliction with patience. Remarks by the writer from Job. 14: 14. D. B. Wrench.
Died, of consumption, in Richmond, Maine, April 20, 1875, Hattie B., adopted daughter of Alvin R. and Martha J. Merriman, aged 8 years and 8 months. She suffered much during her sickness, but is now at rest. Her amiable disposition won the affections of the entire family, and they deeply feel their loss, but they mourn not, as those which have no hope; for Jesus will soon come, and bring back their loved one from the land of the enemy. If they are faithful in living out the truth, they will soon meet her where the inhabitant will not say, I am sick. Remarks by the writer from 2 Sam. 12: 23. J. B. Goodrich.
Died, near Canola, Kan., April 26, 1875, of catarrhal fever, Stella, daughter of C. and R. Hill, aged six months. J. Lamont.
