Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Died, Dec. 8, 1870, at Oakland, Wis., Susanna Olson, in the 81st year of her age. Our grandmother came to this country fourteen years ago, and found one of her sons keeping the Sabbath. She readily embraced this truth, and afterward, together with the rest of us, all the truths of the third angel's message. She fell asleep in a good old age, with a bright hope of having part in the first resurrection. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”
Remarks on the funeral occasion by Bro. E. M. Crandall.                                 O. A. Olson.
Died, in Jefferson, Iowa, Oct. 10, 1870, of consumption, Sr. Laura L., wife of Bro. J. P. Farnsworth, in the 24th year of her age. She was baptized the past summer, and joined the church in this place.
Remarks on the occasion from 1 Thess. 4: 13–14.
Also, died, in Ludlow, Iowa, of typhoid fever, Nov. 2, 1870, Sr. Olive Collins, aged nearly 14 years. We have good grounds for hope that she will “come again from the land of the enemy to her own border.”
Remarks from Jer. 31: 15–17.
C. A. Washburn.
Died, in Rindge, N. H., Dec. 24, 1870, Jonathan Wheelock, aged 70 years. He embraced the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists on the day he took his bed at the commencement of his sufferings, and it buoyed him up until the end. He would often say, “When the trial came, the antidote came also.”
MARY ANN WHEELCOCK.
Died, of dropsical consumption, in Otsego, Mich., Dec. 25, 1870, David H. Snow, aged 23 years. Discourse by the writer.
