Died, in San Jose, Cal., March 31, 1877, Sister Clarinda J. Bowers, aged 43 years, 11 months, and 13 days.

Clarinda J. Doty was born in Tompkins Co., N. Y., in 1856. In a tent-meeting was held in Hillsdale, Mich., at which time she accepted the Saviour and embraced the present truth. In her Christian walk she has been uniformly consistent and exemplary. Her naturally kind and amiable disposition, refined by divine grace, won the respect and affection of her associates of every class.

She was a great sufferer; dyspepsia, aggravated by other ailments, almost destroyed her digestive powers, so that she literally wasted away for want of nourishment. She bore her affliction with great patience, yet she hailed the approach of death as a relief from her pains. She was sensible to her last moment, and her confidence in the Saviour and in his soon coming to redeem his people was firm and unwavering. We presented the “blessed hope” at her funeral to a large concourse of sympathizing neighbors. J. H. WAGGONER.
