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

Died, in Orleans, Mich., Dec. 4, 1873, Elizabeth Strong, wife of Elder P. Strong, aged thirty-two years. Sister S. embraced the Christian religion at the age of sixteen. She possessed an amiable disposition and a heart truly devoted to the service of the Saviour. Patience and resignation characterized her through a lingering sickness. She sleeps in hope of eternal life when the Life-giver shall come. Mourning friends may meet her beyond the sting of death. Funeral services on first-day, the 6th. A. S. Hutchins.

Died, in Petaluma, Cal., Dec. 7, 1873, sister Catherine Moore, aged forty-six years. Her disease was internal cancer. Sister Moore and her companion were the first to embrace the Sabbath in Petaluma. She was a great sufferer for the last few months, but calmly committed herself to the Lord, and died in the triumph of faith. J. N. Loughborough.

Died, in Portland, Maine, Dec. 3, 1873, Ezra Mugford, aged eighty years and two months. He had kept the Sabbath of the Lord for more than twenty-five years. He was a firm believer in all the present truth, and we believe he rests in hope. E. Lobdell.
