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

DIED, July 5, 1873, in Osborn Co., Kan., Wm. L. Jaycox, M. D., of hydrophobia, arising from a bite given last fall by a rabid polecat. Dr. Jaycox was a strict health reformer in treatment of disease, but, in his case, was able to procure that which is considered a remedy (which is ice) only in a small quantity. Bro. Jaycox was decided in character and earnest in love of present truth, being instrumental in presenting it to acceptance to many friends and relations. He had been a believer in present truth about five years, and before death expressed hope of a part in the first resurrection. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and tender father.

At the funeral, no minister being present, the texts, Job. 14:14. 1 Thess. 4:16, were read.
