By J. H. W.

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

Died, in Battle Creek, Mich., Aug. 5, 1873, sister Elizabeth J. Burnham, aged 42 years. Brother and sister Burnham left Missouri soon after the commencement of the war on account of the troubles in that State, and went to Monterey, Allegan Co., in 1862, where they embraced the faith, and have kept the Sabbath since that time. Sister B. had been in feeble health for a long time. Some time since she went to Syracuse, N. Y., where her brother resides, hoping that the change of climate might prove favorable; but as she still failed, she was brought to the Health Institute. But it was too late; no means could avail to save her life.

She left good evidence of her acceptance with God. She was conscious to the last, and fully resigned to her lot.

She was taken to Monterey for burial, where, Aug. 7, a large congregation attended. Sermon from John 3: 16.
