Obituary Notices.

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

Died, in Delavan, Minn., July 18, 1873, Sarah Jane, youngest daughter of Mark and Jane Young, aged one year, seven months, and eight days. May the parents so live that they may meet their dear one on the other shore.

A few words of comfort were spoken by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:17, 18. W. B. Hill.

Fell asleep near Dayton, Washington Co., Iowa, Aug. 17, 1873, of flux, after an illness of one week, Mary Alice, daughter of John and Ellen V. Riesman, aged four years, ten months, and four days. Eliza Rousseau.

Died, in Potsdam, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y., Aug. 20, 1873, Bro. Henry Crosbie, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. Bro. C. commenced his Christian experience in 1842, on hearing the Advent message. He commenced keeping the Sabbath and embraced the other truths connected with the third angel’s message in 1852, all of which he believed and obeyed till his death. He left good evidence that his work was done and that his peace was made with God.

Words of instruction and comfort were spoken on the day of his burial from Rev. 14:13. C. O. Taylor.

Fell asleep in Jesus on the morning of Aug. 27, 1873, Bro. Carpus Redway, aged nearly eighty-two years.

Father Redway was born at Lanesburg, Mass., Dec. 9, 1791. He was converted at the early age of seven years, and was during his whole life a consistent Christian. He will be missed by his fellow-citizens, by his family, and the church with whom he had been for some years connected (Baptist), as well as by the poor to whom his hand was always open. He was, while able, a constant attendant of the meetings in the tent at Armada, and had fully indorsed the views there presented. We often heard his testimony in the meeting, and he had learned to love the Sabbath of the Lord. God grant that we as brethren may meet in the kingdom of our Lord. He leaves a companion who cheered him in his declining years, a daughter an only child, and a numerous circle of relatives and friends, who mourn their loss.

Funeral services by the pastor of the Baptist church, from Rev. 14:13. D. H. Lamson.
