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

DIED, in Ludlow, Iowa, June 21, 1870, of consumption, in the 44th year of her age, Sr. Alice Vile, wife of Bro. James Vile. Bro. and Sr. Vile embraced the Seventh-day Adventist faith in full under the labors of Eld. J. N. Andrews, some nine years since, in this place. The church here mourn the loss of one of its most zealous members. Her kind words and good deeds have won for her the love and esteem of all who knew her. She leaves a companion and three children, and a large circle of friends, to mourn her loss. But we believe they may meet her, if they are faithful, in that bright world to come, where sickness and death will never enter. Funeral services at the Adventist meeting-house, where a few remarks were made to a full house, from Rev. 14: 13.

“She hath passed death’s chilling billow, And gone to rest. Jesus smoothed her dying pillow, Her slumbers blest. When the morn of glory breaking, Shall light the tomb, Beautiful will be thy waking, In fadeless bloom.”
