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

DIED, in Napa City, Cal., April 27, 1876, Nora P. B. Myers, aged 15 years and 7 months. Sister Nora was converted to the truth in March, 1874, under the labors of Bro. E. R. Jones, in Athens, Calhoun Co., Michigan. She was baptized at the camp-meeting in Battle Creek in August of that year. Soon after that meeting, the family removed to California, partly on account of the state of her health, which had been very poor for several years. She seemed steadily to improve until the last camp-meeting in Marin Co., Cal., when she over-exerted herself in climbing the hills which surround the camp-ground, and took cold, from which time she declined until her death. She was zealous for the truth, and conscientious in observing the Sabbath. She suffered very much at times, but when her pains were most severe, she would fall into a peaceful, quiet frame under the influence of prayer. She bore all with patience, and often praised God in the midst of her sufferings. We laid her in the grave, feeling that she needed rest, and consoled by the blessed hope of soon seeing her, when the Lifegiver appears, free from all the ills of mortal life. J. H. WAGGONER.

HATTIE MAY, daughter of Belle and Hall A. Cook, died at Waldo, Marion Co., Ohio, September 3, 1875, aged three years, seven months, and thirteen days. She died of bilious intermittent fever, from which she suffered patiently for about three weeks. Soon afterward she peacefully breathed her last. Her mother lives in the hope of meeting her in the city of God. Funeral discourse at Salem, Nebraska, by the writer. G. V. KILGORE.

DIED, of rheumatism of the heart, April 28, 1876, near Ithaca, Gratiot Co., Mich., Sarah, wife of Wesley Greenlee, aged 58 years. Sister Greenlee has been a member of the Ithaca church ever since its organization, some eleven years or more ago. She was found in the line of duty, whenever possible, always doing cheerfully whatever was required of her. We miss her in the church; her family miss her loving care; but if overcomers, we expect to meet her at the resurrection of the just. Funeral discourse by Bro. Squire from Job 14:14: “If a man die shall he live again?”

The Lord, descending from on high, The archangel’s trump will sound, And all the faithful dead arise, From out the opening ground. R. F. PHIPPENY.

DIED, in Dryden, Lapeer Co., Mich., April 28, 1876, the infant daughter of C. and A. Willey, aged ten months. The parents feel deeply their loss; but they sorrow not even as others which have no hope. Words of comfort from 1 Thess. 4:18, by the writer. N. M. KILLMAR.
