Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Ransom Center, Hillsdale Co., Mich., Feb. 21, 1872, of quick consumption, Phebe A., wife of Charles H. Wolcott, aged twenty-four years. Her last injunction to those who survived her was, that they should prepare to meet her in the morning of the resurrection. The funeral was well attended by sympathizing friends and neighbors. Discourse by the writer. W. H. Littlejohn.

Fell asleep in Jesus, evening after the Sabbath, the 16th, at the residence of her parents (Bro. and sister Newcomb, of Tama City, Iowa), my dear companion, Luella A. Boyd, aged twenty-two years, and five days.

Her life was an exemplary one, and in her last, severe sickness she always expressed her willingness that the will of the Lord should be done, were it to spare the life so precious to us who remain, or to take her away. Words of consolation were spoken by Eld. M. Babcock, S. D. Baptist, at the M. E. church, to an attentive congregation of about four hundred. Text, Rev. 14:13: “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.” Chas. L. Boyd.

Died, in Concord, Dodge Co., Minn., Jan. 30, 1872, of paralysis, Bro. Wm. Cossentine, aged sixty-four years, and seven days. Bro. Cossentine was born in Cornwall, England, in 1808; embraced religion at the age of sixteen; came to America in his twenty-second year and identified himself with the M. E. Church, where, for over twenty years, he led a class. About two years ago he and his companion embraced the Sabbath, and to the day of his death rejoiced in the hope of the soon coming of the Saviour. He leaves a wife and seven children to mourn their loss. Words of comfort by the pastor of the M. E. church. L. H. Ells.
