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

Died, at Lapeer, Mich., March 17, 1874, Bro. John Beerman, aged 29 years. Bro. Beerman gave his heart to God during his sickness. Strong evidences appeared that the offering was accepted. His disease was consumption, lingering and painful. Yet he bore all with Christian fortitude and resignation. He rests in hope. Words of comfort from 1 Cor. 15: 58. May God comfort the widow and fatherless children. D. H. Lamson.

Died, at Memphis, Mich., May 15, 1874, of heart disease, Bro. John Wakeling, aged 56. Bro. Wakeling was born in England. He embraced the truth under the labors of Elds. Cornell and Lawrence about ten years since, during the tent-meeting at Memphis. No relatives were near to attend the funeral. The church, however, and many friends, mourn. He longed for rest, and we laid him by the side of his wife and a much-loved daughter. D. H. Lamson.

Died, at Marion, Iowa, May 17, 1874, Bro. John Porter, of typhoid fever, aged twenty-one years, ten months, and seventeen days. Although his loss will be deeply felt by his parents and friends, yet we all feel that he is laid away in hope of coming up in the first resurrection with all the faithful.

“Angels shall guard thy sleeping dust, And, as thy Saviour rose, The grave again shall yield her trust And end thy deep repose.”

A few remarks by the writer. D. T. Shireman.
