Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, at New Fane, Niagara Co., N. Y., July 18, 1869, Mary Eliza, only child of Bro. Emory and Laura C. Tarbox, aged 5 years and 9 months.

This bereavement was sudden and shocking. She fell into the flume near the mill where her father was at work, unseen by any one, and was drowned before she was discovered. She had ever been a most healthful and remarkably cheerful child, and the sudden and unexpected descent from the bloom of health to the shades of death, was a most distressing calamity to her parents. May this affliction be sanctified to their good.

Funeral at the Baptist house in Charlotte. Subject, The Resurrection and the Life—the return from the “land of the enemy.” A good and attentive audience of sympathizing friends and neighbors, and brethren and sisters of the Olcott church, was present. R. F. COTTRELL.

DIED, in Villa Ridge, Ill., Aug. 21, 1869, of cholera infantum, our infant son, Willie, L., aged 6 months and 29 days.

Appropriate remarks on the occasion by Eld. M. B. Kelly, S. D. Baptist minister, from 1 Cor. xv, 26. H. G. & L. E. BUXTON.
