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

Died, near Lapeer, Mich., Sabbath, July 25, 1874, sister Jane Higley, of asthmatic consumption, aged 67. Sister Higley had been for many years an honored member of the S. D. Adventist church at Lapeer. She has left as a legacy to the church the remembrance of a “well-ordered life and godly conversation.” Coming to this State about forty years ago, she knew something of early pioneer life. The grace that comes with the gospel of Christ were her support in every trial. She loved the present truth, and some of her children are rejoicing in the same hope. By her request I spoke at the funeral from Ps. 17:15, last clause of the verse. A multitude of relatives and friends were gathered who mourn their loss, but not without hope. She sleeps by the side of her husband, who died nearly ten years before. Blessed sleep! D. H. Lamson.

Died, in Nashville, Tenn., of consumption of the bowels, my beloved wife Clevie, aged 24 years, 11 months and 12 days. She leaves a husband and aged parents to mourn her loss; but we sorrow not as those having no hope; for she died in the blessed hope of a part in the first resurrection, knowing that she would come again from the land of the enemy. Tuscola Co. papers please copy. Samuel D. Heady.

Died at Brockport, N. Y., Aug. 20, 1874, of typhoid fever, Willy M. Prentiss, the only child of W. B., and E. M. Prentiss, aged seventeen years and eight months. He was a young man of great promise, and beloved by all who knew him. His sickness was of only two weeks’ duration, but was very severe, as brain fever for a time was united with typhoid. Funeral services Aug. 22. We have laid down this dear young man to sleep in the silent grave in the hope of meeting him ere long in the resurrection of the just. J. N. Andrews.

Died, near Nashville, Mo., July 22, 1874, of dysentery and whooping cough, John W., youngest son of Enoch and Margaret Potts, aged two years, three months, and fifteen days. We laid him away to rest for a little while until Jesus, the life-giver, shall appear, and the children “come again from the land of the enemy.” Joseph G. Wood.

Died, near Palermo, July 26, 1874, Frankie, infant son of T. H. and D. E. Wakeman, aged eleven weeks and two days. We hope to meet him at the first resurrection. T. H. & D. E. Wakeman.

Died, in Chesaning, Mich., of scrofula, July 6, 1874, sister Rosaltha McCormick, aged 31 years. Some eight years ago, while her dear mother was departing this life, and herself very near it, she gave her heart to the Lord, and was faithful to her promise until death. We believe she rests in hope. D. W. Milk.
