“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, of lung fever and diphtheria, in Cheshire, Mich., Feb. 14, 1876, my dear mother, Magdalene Walter, in the sixty-eighth year of her age. She leaves a husband and a large family of children to mourn their loss. But we feel comforted in the blessed assurance that we sorrow not as those which have no hope. She died, as she lived, a devoted Christian. She was a lover of God and his truth and people. Discourse by Eld. Burk, Wesleyan Methodist, from John 11:35, “Jesus wept.” F. WALTER.
FELL asleep in Jesus, Dec. 13, 1875, of pneumonia, my beloved companion, James M. Hall, of Hampton, Conn., aged sixty-nine years and ten days. He was among the first that embraced the Sabbath under the preaching of Eld. Joseph Bates in 1845. The truth was very precious to him, and the law of God his delight. He was a kind father and an affectionate husband. Our home is lonely and our hearts are sad. May we so live that we may meet him when the Lifegiver comes. ABIGAIL HALL.
DIED, of inflammation of the lungs, near Braddyville, Page Co., Iowa, Jan. 29, 1876, our oldest son, DeForest E., aged nineteen years and ten months, DeForest loved the present truth, and although deprived of the society of our people, he ever manifested much respect for the Sabbath. A few hours previous to his death he requested prayer in his behalf, after which he earnestly sought of the Lord a preparation necessary for life or death. In our deep affliction we feel to praise God for a hope beyond the grave. ROBERT & ANN A. CARR.
