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

DIED, of dropsy, Feb. 2, 1876, at Knoxville, Iowa, our dear Bro. Truman Curtis, who was born in Essex Vt. Feb. 24, A. D. 1800. He was converted when about sixteen years of age, and united with the Baptist church. He continued a faithful member until A. D. 1859, at which time he embraced present truth, after listening to a course of lectures given at this place. During his sixty years of church membership, Bro. C. never had an accusation brought against him by the church, but was loved by all who knew him. The church here has met with a great loss. He leaves a wife and five children who deeply mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and kind Father. He rests in hope, and we believe, if faithful, we shall see him again when the great Life-giver comes. Funeral discourse by Eld. Bly, minister of the Christian church of Knoxville. BENN AUTEN.

DIED, of typhoid pneumonia, in Delta, Eaton Co., Mich., Feb. 13, 1876, Hiram D. Corey, in his sixty-eighth year. Bro. Corey has for upwards of twenty years been a firm believer in the doctrines of Seventh-day Adventists and a careful observer of the commandments of God. He fell asleep confident of a part in the first resurrection. Funeral discourse was preached by Eld. Pope, first-day Adventist, from 1 Cor. 15:48. W. H. HASKINS.

DIED, at Oswego, N. Y., Jan. 22, 1876, Sister Catharine S. Tuttle, wife of Bro. Abel Tuttle, aged fifty-seven years. Sister T. had just attended meeting with the church, and had taken an active part in the exercises—prayer, conference, and Bible-class—and had started for home, when she was thrown from the wagon, hurting her head and spine, which caused her death in thirty minutes. She had her senses until the last, and knew that she was passing away. Until she was borne to the grave, a smile rested on her countenance, showing that to the last her trust was in God. In early life, she gave her heart to God, and later, she received the truths of the first angel’s message. She has kept the Sabbath twenty-four years, and has received and walked in the truth of the third message as it has been given from time to time. She leaves a husband, two children, the church, and many friends, to mourn their loss. I could not reach the place at the hour of her funeral, as requested. Discourse by Eld. Watson, Baptist. She sleeps till the return of the Lifegiver with the keys of death and the grave. C. O. TAYLOR.
