Obituary Notices.

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

MILA ANGELINE, daughter of Bro. and sister Stone, died in Hartland, Mich., Jan. 6, 1872, aged five years, six months and one day. Services by the writer. A few remarks were made from 2 Kings 4: 26.

Thy daughter sleeps in sweet repose, Though taken by the worst of foes, That tyrant, death, will soon be slain; Thy little one shall rise again.

E. O. Jones.

DIED, in Tenhassen, Minn., Jan. 23, 1872, Lorenzo D. Alton, only son of D. D. and Lizzie Alton, aged three years, eleven months, and twenty-one days. Words of consolation were spoken to the deeply afflicted parents and others, from these words, But some have fallen asleep. 1 Cor. 15: 6.

Wm. S. Ingraham.

DIED, at Fish Lake, Wis., Jan. 23, 1872, Bro. Robert Johnson, aged sixty years. He leaves a companion and seven children to mourn his loss. He has been a Sabbath-keeper for twenty years. We feel assured he rests in hope. Funeral discourse by the writer. Text, Rev. 14: 13.

Also, died of consumption, in Deerfield, Wis., Jan. 15, 1872, Bro. Eli Lane. I visited him just before his death. He expressed a willingness to die. Said he, “I did not gain my health at the Institute, the disease being too far advanced; but I found something better, and that was Christ.” He came home a praying man; and his testimony in reference to us as a people and the slanders uttered against sister White, has done us much good.

DIED, of consumption, at Blendon, Mich., Dec. 22, 1871, Bro. John Wilson, aged forty-eight years.

Bro. Wilson became a believer in the present truth about sixteen years ago, under the labors of Eld. Frisbie, at Bowne, Mich.

His love for the truth was strong; and in his last days he earnestly sought to “set his house in order,” that he might rest in hope. The exercises of his mind, during his last hours, were of such a character as to inspire assurance of a resurrection unto life at the appearing of Jesus. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss. He desired that his death might result in their spiritual good.

Comforting discourse by Bro. Edgar, of Wright, from Isa. 38: 1.

SABBATH, Nov. 20, Bro. Noah Halloway of South Kingston, while on his way home from meeting, broke through the ice and was drowned. He was not found until first-day afternoon. He was one of the first who embraced the Sabbath under the third angel’s message in R. I., and that by reading the REVIEW sent from some unknown person to him. The cause of present truth has always lain near his heart. Although at the age of seventy-four years six months and ten days, he apparently was sound in health, and if the distance he was to travel was not more than five miles, he would prefer to walk rather than ride. He rests in hope. Remarks were made from Rom. 8: 28, to not only a crowded house, but it was estimated that from forty to fifty who could not get into the house, stood at the door and listened with attention.
