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

DIED, in Springport, Jackson Co., Mich., June 16, 1876, sister Diantha Wood. Sister W. was born in Fairfield Co., Ct., March 4, 1802, and was therefore a little more than seventy-four years of age. Sister Wood, better known as the mother of sister L. A. Bramhall, had been in declining health for some time. Her long-cherished hope was sufficient to sustain her in her last hours, and her words of patient trust will never be forgotten by her daughter and other friends who heard them. One daughter in Connecticut did not see her eyes closed in their last sleep, but all of her grandchildren except one were present at her burial, and also three great grandchildren. Of her it can truly be said, “Her children arise up, and call her blessed.” Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to the mourners and assembly of sympathizing friends, from John 14:18.

The mother of sister Wood, Mrs. Ann Smith, died in Genoa, Cayuga Co., N. Y., June 5, 1875, in the ninety-first year of her age.
