Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Holden, Me., March 22, 1873, of inflammatory fever, Cyrus Field, aged sixty-four years and nine months.

Long years he has been looking for Jesus to come, walking in the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 14:13.

L. L. Howard.

Died, at Nashville, Mo., March 31, 1873, of typhoid pneumonia and inflammation of the bowels, our son, John W. Wood, aged eleven years. His disease was caused by an internal injury in the lower part of the abdomen, from a fall upon a stick while at play with his mates at school. He suffered great pain for twenty-six days, but never complained. He said from the first that he could not get well. He conversed freely with his parents of his situation. He was conscious, and could talk plainly till the last moment and fell asleep without a struggle.

Joseph G. Wood.

Adaline Wood.

Died, in Washington, N. H., March 16, of inflammation of the bowels, after an illness of five weeks, sister Leonora, daughter of William and Cynthia Farnsworth, aged twelve years and nine months. She gave her heart to the Lord about five years ago, was baptized, and united with the church. She ever tried to be faithful; especially did she try to do up her last work well and faithfully. She manifested a great interest for the family, and was very anxious that they should prepare to meet her in Heaven. We have no doubt she sleeps in Jesus.

Harriet I. Farnsworth.

Died, at Victory, Vernon Co., Wis., April 15, 1873, sister Lucy Garbes, in the twenty-sixth year of her age. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn their loss. Sister Garbes embraced the present truth when the tent was at Liberty Pole, three years ago, under the labors of Bro. Sanborn and Downer. We have reason to believe that she sleeps in hope of a part in the first resurrection.

Funeral services by the writer, to an attentive congregation, from Rev. 14:13.

Also, at Liberty Pole, March 24, Anna B., daughter of Wm. B. and Mary A. Williams, aged three years, two months, and twenty-eight days.

S. E. Sutherland.

Died, in Glen Sutton, P. Q., March 8, 1873, of scarlet fever, after a sickness of only twenty-eight hours, David R., son of James and Alma C. Buchanan, aged two years, eleven months, and four days.

Funeral discourse at East Richford, Vt., to an interesting congregation, by the writer, from Jer. 31:16. “They shall come again from the land of the enemy.”
