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

Died, in Granville, Vt., June 5, 1871, Lucinda, wife of Eld. D. T. Evans, in the forty-eighth year of her age. For months previous to her death she suffered greatly. At times, for some two years past, sister E. had been deeply impressed with the importance of consecrating herself entirely to God. During this period, there was evidently a favorable change wrought in her feelings toward the people of the Lord and his cause; yet she manifested no satisfactory evidence of her acceptance of her Saviour, till a few weeks previous to her death. Her friends cherish the comforting assurance that she rests in hope. Some of her last moments were spent in warning and affectionately entreating kind neighbors and friends to turn from sin and folly, to obedience, to walk the way of life, to God and Heaven. She leaves a companion and two small children. Funeral services were attended on the 7th. Sermon from John 11 : 24.
