Lane in Howard Co., Ind. Funeral sermon was preached in the school-house near Bro. Coverts, in Tipton Co., Ind., May 12. Text (by request) Rev. 14: 13. J. H. Waggoner.

Died, in Gratiot Co., Mich., May 17, 1872, Louisa, daughter of Wm. S. and Harriet Nelson, aged thirteen months.

Although it grieves the heart, when we are called to part with those that are near and dear to us, yet there is one comforting thought: If faithful, we can be re-united where such partings will never take place. Discourse by the writer. J. O. Corliss.

Died, in Albany, Wis., Apr. 19, 1872, of consumption, Wm. Francis, aged forty years, eleven months, six days. Bro. William became interested in the Sabbath question under the labor of Eld. Ingraham, in Albany; and after inviting his M. E. brethren to furnish Bible evidence for Sunday-keeping, commenced keeping the Sabbath with his faithful wife. We followed his remains to their resting-place by the side of his wife, who died over two years since, in the same blessed hope. Funeral discourse by Eld. Walker, Methodist, from Ps. 116: 15.
