Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, at his residence in the town of Walnut Lake, Faribault Co., Minn., on the morning of Jan. 3, 1873, our beloved Bro. Ezra Odell, in the fiftieth year of his age, after an illness of four days, the most of which time his mind was deranged. His illness was thought to be the result of a recent injury of the spine, and a former severe injury of the head.

Bro. Odell embraced the truth some twelve years since, to which he has faithfully adhered in prosperity and adversity. In his death, we feel that a pillar in the church has fallen, a sincere friend, and loving husband and father. He leaves a companion and three children to mourn their loss. Words of comfort from Job 14:14, by the writer.

CALVIN KELSEY.

DIED, in Vienna, Wis., of consumption, Jan. 17, 1873, Bro. James Paul, in the seventy-first year of his age.

Remarks were made at the funeral from 1 Cor. 15:21.
