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

Died, Sept. 29, 1874, in Arcadia, Hamilton Co., Ind., after an illness of about six weeks, my dear sister, Martha Dickover, aged 34 years, 8 months, and 8 days. Her disease was consumption. She seemed willing to die. We hope to meet her in the first resurrection. Funeral services conducted by Eld. M. McKenzie, of the Christian church. Text: 1 Cor. 15:21. Mary A. Cruzan.

Died, in Brookville, Redwood Co., Minn., Sept. 25, 1874, of ulceration of the bowels, Genevieve Adel, daughter of M. H. and Libbie Brown, aged 1 year and 2 months. Our lovely child sleeps in Jesus. May we so live that we can with her have eternal life given unto us, is our prayer. M. H. & Libbie Brown.

Died at Beaver Dams, Scuyler Co., N. Y., Sept. 27, 1874, sister Hannah Beecher, in the sixty-seventh year of her age. For thirteen years she has been a believer in the third angel’s message, and has manifested so much zeal in this work that many at the present time are reading our excellent papers through her instrumentality. The last days of her life were days of unusual resignation to the will of her Lord. Discourse by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:49. “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.” S. A. H. Lindsey.

Died, in Randolph, Vt., of consumption, our dear mother, Irene G. Camp, in the 66th year of her age. By this sad bereavement eight children are left to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate parent. She had been a conscientious observer of the Sabbath for many years. Her last end was peaceful and calm as had been her whole life. Harriet I. Farnsworth.

Died in Battle Creek, Aug. 12, 1874, of typhoid fever, Julia M. Rhodes, of Flushing, Mich. She had labored in the Health Institute acceptably, and, while there, lived an exemplary life, and was deeply mourned by all who knew her. Comforting words were spoken to the friends by Eld. U. Smith. W. Russell.

Died in Wakeman, Ohio, Sept. 16, 1874, our father, Burton French, aged 75 years and six months. He was an observer of the Bible Sabbath, and we laid him away with the assurance that he will come forth in the morning of the first resurrection. He was a great sufferer, and longed to be at rest. He leaves a companion aged 73 years to travel life’s journey alone. His children sadly miss him, but would not call him back. Very appropriate remarks were made by Rev. Mr. Payne, Congregationalist, from these words: “That I may win Christ.” F. C. and H. A. French.

Died, near Grand Rapids, Mich., R. D. Guild, of malarial typhoid fever, after an illness of over two weeks. I was summoned by telegram to attend him in his sickness, but at too late an hour to give him relief. Death was swiftly upon his track, and soon claimed his trophy. But while his bereaved wife and sorrowing friends have been called to part with a dear companion and brother, they do not mourn without hope. Bro. Guild was a man highly esteemed by those who intimately knew him as an honest, upright man—one who always stood firmly for the right. He was a kind husband and an affectionate father, always vigilant in the instruction of his little children, who are at so early an age called to part with a dear father. May their kind Heavenly Father guide their youthful steps and watch over her who must be their earthly support, is the prayer of many friends. W. Russell.
