Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Died, in Fosterburg, Ill., April 13, 1871, Minerva, wife of Pinckney Cummings, aged 48 years. She leaves a husband and six children. She was a member of the Christian church for a number of years, but kept the Sabbath from the time Bro. Colcord lectured here last January. We believe she will have a part in the first resurrection. D. B. HUNT.
Died, April 17, 1871, in Richfield, Ohio, of a short, but painful, illness of typhoid pneumonia, my eldest daughter, Mary Ordillia, wife of David K. Bowker, aged nearly 22 years and 8 months. She bore her intense sufferings with Christian resignation; earnestly exhorting her friends, and all present, and making them promise to faithfully and continually strive to meet her in that “bright world to come, blessed and pure.” And she was enabled in the midst of her severest afflictions to sing with emphasis and power, “There is a happy land not far away;” and also, “Oh! that bright world to come, blessed and pure.” A. H. ENNES.
