Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
DIED, of consumption, at Caro, July 8, 1870, Serena A., eldest daughter of Bro. and Sr. Calvin and Mary A. Hartshorn, aged 15 years, 11 months, and 2 days. She was a constant sufferer for some weeks before she died; but she never once murmured nor complained. L. C. T.
DIED, of dysentery, near Spencer, Owen Co., Ind., July 27, 1870, after a painful illness of 8 days, Josephine May, only child of Elbert B., and Ellen S., Lane, aged 2 years, 4 months, and 28 days. Funeral services were held in the Baptist church, and a very appropriate and comforting discourse given by Eld. Horn, Baptist minister, from Jer. 31: 15, 16.
While we have been called to the painful duty of consigning our precious babe to the cold, silent tomb, in a land of strangers, we resolve to patiently and cheerfully toil and labor on, till our work is faithfully done, that we may meet our “little one” clad in immortal beauty in the bright morning of the resurrection. E. B. & E. S. LANE.
DIED, in Genoa, Aug. 17, 1870, Clara E., only daughter of Luther and Mary F. Upson, aged 2 years, 7 months, and 15 days.
“So fades the lovely, blooming flower, Frail smiling solace of an hour.” E. S. LANE.
DIED, in Roosevelt, Oswego Co., N. Y., May 31, 1870, after severe suffering from a complication of diseases for about 3 months, Bro. Elijah Davis, aged 69. Bro. Davis, during most of his life, was a believer in the doctrine of the final salvation of all men. But through the light of present truth, he was led to see that immortality is the gift of God, to be given only to those who seek for it by patient continuance in well doing; and for the last twelve years, he had been keeping the Sabbath of the Lord and striving to comply with all the requirements of the gospel. In his sickness he conversed often of the blessed hope, and of having a part in the first resurrection. F. WHEELER.
