Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Cambridge, Vt., June 26, 1873, Daniel L. Fuller, aged nearly twenty-five years. At 3 o’clock P. M., he, and two young men who were working with him in his cornfield, went into the La Moille river, near by, to bathe, and while he was wading backward toward the deep water, he suddenly fell over into the channel of the river. Those who were with him could not swim, and though he gave signs of distress, he received no assistance, and was drowned. He was a member of the Baptist church in West Bolton, and was looking favorably toward the present truth. His parents, who had chosen him as a staff in their old age, and his wife embraced the Bible Sabbath two years ago. And he left, besides these, three brothers and three sisters with their families, and many friends, to mourn their loss.

Sabbath, the 28th, from Cambridge, drove sixteen miles, followed by the corpse and a long procession of mourners, and reached the Baptist meeting-house in West Bolton at 2 P. M., where a discourse was given on the occasion, by the writer, to a large and attentive audience.

Died, in Freeport, P. Q., June 22, 1873, sister Vina, wife of Samuel Herriman, in the seventy-first year of her age. She died in hope of the soon coming of the Lord. Her disease was of a lingering nature, yet she bore it with Christian resignation. She embraced the Sabbath, in the State of New York, a number of years ago, and was zealous for all the kindred doctrines of the third angel’s message. Her loss we deeply feel, as her influence is much needed in this section to help hold up the standard of truth. Her will proves the genuineness of her faith, as it embraces the cause which she loved.

Text for funeral sermon, 1 Cor. 15: 57.
