Obituary Notices.

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

DIED, in Windsor, Fayette Co., Iowa, Friday morning, June 6, my beloved wife, Sarah Jane, aged twenty-eight years and four months. She endured a painful illness for more than two years, which terminated in consumption. During the past winter and spring, she suffered severely. She embraced present truth about ten years ago. She was a worthy and esteemed member of the W. Union church, and her loss is much deplored. She loved the truth and Sabbath, lived consistently with her faith, and performed her part well during her short but exemplary life, and bore faithfully the burdens and responsibilities which fell upon her. She left a child one year old, and another rests by her side.

Discourse was given by Bro. Morrison on the 15th, to an attentive audience, from Rev. 14:13. J. C. Smith.

DIED, June 9, 1873, in the town of Albee, Mich., Bro. Seth Sprague, aged sixty years, eleven months, and twenty-one days.

Bro. Sprague experienced religion at the age of seventeen years. He walked with the Methodists until about four years ago, when he became convinced of present truth by reading some of the Seventh-day Adventist publications, and united with the Chesaning church. Bro. Sprague has been very zealous in the cause of God since he united with us. He had to walk seven miles to attend meeting, but was present almost every Sabbath. Funeral services by Bro. Robbins, of Owosso. I. O. Thompson.

DIED, at Stony Point, Cal., of membranous croup, Emma, daughter of sister Peoples, aged three years, two months, and nine days. May sister Peoples lean upon the arm of God in her trials, continue in the straight and narrow path, and finally be enabled to meet her little one at the first resurrection. John Judson.
