Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Sumner, Jefferson Co., Wis., July 13, 1873, of typhoid fever, Sherman Bickle, aged eight years and five months, son of B. G. and Ann Bickle. His sickness was very severe for about two weeks, when death relieved him from further pain.

Discourse at the funeral by the writer, from Job 1, last part of verse 21, to a large and sympathizing congregation.

E. M. Crandall.

Died, in Clarke Co., Ohio, near Yellow Springs, July 14, 1873, of lock-jaw, Mary C., youngest daughter of Isaac H. and Sarah Moser, aged 13 years, 5 months, and 9 days. She was a very great sufferer, yet without a murmur or complaint. This family accepted the present truth over three years ago.

Words were spoken on the occasion by the writer to a large audience from Job 14: 1, 2. We hope that this affliction will draw them nearer to the Lord, and each other.

Wm. Cottrell.

Died, near Forestville, Chautauque Co., N. Y., of quick consumption, Bro. Oscar S. Eddy, aged 48 years and five months. This Bro. embraced the truth about eleven years ago. The last three months of his life, though in very feeble health, he was unusually devoted to missionary labor. He has left, to his mourning companion, three saddened children, and many friends, good evidence that he sleeps to be awakened by the last trump. Said he, with almost his last breath, “I am willing, and long, to go.”

Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Cor. 15: 57.

W. W. Stebbins.

Died, in Woodbridge, Hillsdale Co., Mich., May 9, 1873, of spinal fever, Charles Irvin, our youngest son, aged one year and four months. Funeral address by Wm. Branch, first-day Adventist, from 2 Samuel 14: 14.
