Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Oasis, Wis., June 13, 1870, Helen Axtell, daughter of P. S. and R. M. Thurston. One year ago she became convicted of sin, and sought the Lord with all her heart. Her last days were passed in the full enjoyment of religion, and she fell asleep in bright hope of eternal life at the coming of Christ. She leaves a husband and two little girls, the youngest but three weeks old at the time of her death. We ask the prayers of the brethren and sisters in this time of our great bereavement.

P. S. AND R. M. THURSTON.

DIED, in Yates, Orleans Co., N. Y., July 18, 1870, Sr. Clara, wife of Bro. Miles Stockwell, aged 32 years, 1 month, and 3 days. In resignation, and in hope of a part in the first resurrection, she fell asleep, after having selected and marked in her Testament the text of scripture (Rom. 8: 11), which she desired used at her funeral. The funeral was held in the house of the M. E. church at Lyndonville. Discourse by the writer. She leaves a husband, two children, a father, mother, and an only sister, (the only child left to these stricken parents,) to mourn their loss. May they all seek a preparation to meet her in immortality.

R. F. COTTRELL.

DIED, in South Norridgewock, Maine, July 24, 1870, of consumption, Laurinda Holt, aged 24 years, 8 months, 27 days. She embraced the truth about three years ago, and has ever tried to live a life of obedience to God and his truth. She died with a heavenly smile upon her face, and rests in hope. May the Lord bless the mourning friends, and grant them grace to do his will, and at last meet where parting will be no more.

“And thus shall faith’s consoling power The tears of love restrain. Oh! who that saw thy parting hour Could wish thee back again?”
