Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Lapeer, Mich., July 17, 1870, infant daughter of Wm. and Eliza Potter, aged four days. Appropriate remarks were made by Eld. A. D. Mackie, from Jer. 31: 16-17.

“So fades the lovely, blooming flower, Frail, smiling solace of an hour, So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die.”

Wm. Potter.

Fell asleep in Jesus, June 16, 1870, at Verona, Oneida Co., N. Y., of disease of the kidneys, Nelson H. Satterlee, aged 68 years and 11 months.

Our brother was an observer of the Sabbath from childhood, and for many years a member of the Seventh-day Baptist church. For the past twenty years, he has been deeply interested in the doctrine of the near advent of the Saviour.

He was stricken down after an illness of about one month, during which he was a great sufferer. He was conscious until the last, and when he could not speak, he whispered “the blessed hope.” He leaves a wife and twelve children, and a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his loss. But they do not sorrow as those who have no hope. J. N. Andrews.

Died, in Farmington, Tioga Co., Pa., April 20, 1870, Annie M., daughter of George W. and Hattie B. Rice, aged one month and twenty-three days.

Also at the same place, May 22, 1870, George W., eldest son of Oren P. and Sarah N. Rice, aged 26 years and 24 days.

Also in West Union, Steuben Co., N. Y., June 18, 1870, sister Sally Ball Hopkins, in the 73d year of her age. This dear sister, with her companion who fell asleep in Jesus not quite one year since, embraced the third angel’s message under the labors of Brn. Andrews and Edson in June, 1851. Hers was the life of a faithful, consistent Christian. The soon coming of the Lord was her consolation during her long and painful sickness; and her death was peaceful and happy.

S. A. H. Lindsay.
