Obituary Notices.

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Died, in Clinton Junction, Wis., Dec. 30, 1872, Austin B. Williams, aged forty-nine years, four months, and ten days.
Bro. Williams was among the first who embraced the truth in this State, and has ever been a devoted follower of the light given him.
As the elder of the church at Johnstown Center, his loss will be much felt. Also as a neighbor in society.
He was a man of remarkable physical constitution, but consumption made him its victim and brought him to the grave. He leaves a large family and many friends to mourn their loss. He seemed to have clear evidence of his acceptance with God, and we trust he sleeps in Jesus.
Funeral discourse from John 11:25.
E. B. Lane.
Died, in LaPorte City, Iowa, on the 29th of December, 1872, Mehetabel Mitchell, wife of Otis Mitchell, aged sixty-six years and three days. A few hours before her death, she called her children to her bedside and bade them an affectionate farewell, and exhorted them to prepare for a reunion in the kingdom of God. May the dying words of a kind mother find an abiding place in their memory. She leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss, yet they mourn not as those having no hope.
Amos Amburn.
Died, at the residence of her father, in Stanton, Montcalm Co., Mich., Jan. 2, 1873, Lillie E. Vaughn, wife of Charles G. Vaughn, and daughter of J. and R. M. Philo, in the twentieth year of her age.
Sister Vaughn has been a faithful observer of the Sabbath for about eight years, and leaves good evidence of her acceptance with the Lord.
Her last words were words of encouragement to her friends. She seemed wholly resigned. She retained her senses to her last moments. She leaves a large circle of friends to mourn their loss, as she was beloved by all who knew her. She was a dutiful daughter and worthy wife. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, and words of consolation were spoken from Ps. 103:15, 16.
