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

DIED, June 4, 1872, at Mackford, Wis., of lingering consumption, our beloved sister Caroline Manley, aged 57 years.

Sister Manley embraced the first message, and shared the disappointment of those who looked for the Lord’s coming in 1844. But after the time passed, she lost sight of the Advent people, and through the influence of worldly associations, drifted back into the world.

About 13 years since, she became acquainted with the Seventh-day Adventists, and recognizing among them the same spirit she had seen among the believers in 1844, she immediately embraced the third angel’s message and its kindred truths, and has ever since conscientiously endeavored to live out her faith.

She was confined to her bed but two weeks before her death. She realized that her end was near, and with perfect serenity arranged her worldly matters, and with unfaltering trust committed herself into the arms of her Saviour. She expressed great affection for the brethren and sisters, and for the ministers of Christ. She assured her friends that the sting of death was taken away, and calmly fell asleep in Jesus. Funeral discourse by Eld. Cameron from Rev. 21:4.
