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

Died, at Newark, N. Y., Aug. 4, 1873, our father, Pinkham Crommett, aged 84 years and 14 days. He joined the Methodist church some fifty years ago. Was ever an active, earnest worker in the cause of religion. He was brought to see and embrace the truth of the third angel’s message some four years since, by reading the Review and publications sent to him by his son-in-law, J. W. Cassidy, of Petaluma, California. He rejoiced in, and lived out, the truth till his death. He kept up a correspondence with his relatives in California, expressing the strongest desires to hear the living preacher of these truths, and see some of like faith. He died strong in the faith of having a part in the first resurrection. He sleeps in Jesus. May we, his children, meet him where parting will be no more. J. W. Cassidy & Wife.

Died, in San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 10, 1873, William Jerome Wilkins, of Red Bluff, Tehama Co., Cal., formerly from Baltimore, Md., aged 27 years. Bro. Wilkins embraced present truth and was baptized by the writer, April 23, 1873, in the Sacramento river near Red Bluff. He was an upright infidel until he heard present truth. When he saw the harmony of the Bible, he gladly moved out to obey the truth and made rapid progress in the attainment of the Christian graces. His end was peaceful and happy. He leaves a mother, companion, and three children; but they have the consolation that he sleeps in Jesus. J. N. Loughborough.
