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

Died, in Somerset, Niagara Co., N. Y., Nov. 10, 1872, of typhoid pneumonia, Mandana Aldrich, sister of our brother J. M. Aldrich, deceased. She expressed a great desire to get well, that she might live a better Christian, and honor God by keeping all his commandments. She said she felt it to be her duty to keep the Sabbath when her brother commenced to do so; but, circumstances were such, she thought she could not. She heartily repented of this neglect of duty, and determined if her life was spared to obey God rather than man. The disease was so violent that her mind wandered most of the time; but in her lucid moments, she expressed her trust in the Lord, and spoke of the everlasting hope. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her; and her life of continual self-denial and sacrifice showed that she had a goodly portion of that charity that suffereth long and is kind; beareth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

We trust she sleeps in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by Eld. Moore, Christian minister, from Tit. 2: 13: “Looking for that blessed hope.”

Died, in Bowersville, Ohio, Nov. 16, 1872, Patience Haughey, aged eighty years, nine months, and eleven days.

Sister Haughey had been a professor of religion about fifty years, and a member of the Methodist church about thirty years. When the tent was pitched in Bowersville, she attended the meetings as far as her age and strength would allow, and embraced the faith there taught. She was a consistent Christian woman, respected by all who knew her. Her hope was in Jesus and the resurrection of the dead.
