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

Died, in Battle Creek, Mich., Dec. 9, 1874, of osteo-cancer, and disease of the biliary organs, sister Violetta, wife of Eld. Isaac Sanborn, of Wisconsin, aged 49 years, 7 months and 24 days. Sister S. professed religion when she was 14 years of age, and remained with the Christian church till she embraced the doctrine of the Bible Sabbath with its kindred truths, about twenty years ago. She had long suffered from cancer, and had spent considerable means, and endured much suffering in attempts to arrest its progress, and had at times obtained temporary relief. But it was found after her death, that the cancer had seated itself in the bones, and some of the internal organs, which rendered her recovery, by any human means, absolutely impossible. A full report of the pathological features of this case, is given in the February number of the Health Reformer. U. S.

Died, in Ostego, Mich., Dec. 30, 1874, Lucinda, wife of John H. Green, aged forty-eight years. Sister Green embraced the Sabbath in the State of N. Y., twenty-eight years ago, under the labors of Bro. Bates. Her disease was erysipelas. We trust she died in hope of eternal life. Remarks by the writer, from John 11:25. A. H. Hilliard.

Fell asleep, Dec. 29, 1874, at the residence of the writer, sister Margaret Stanton, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. Sister Stanton was among the first who embraced the present truth in Wisconsin under the labors of Bro. Rhodes. She went down to the grave as a shock of corn fully ripe. Pliny Potter.

Died, at Maiden Rock, Wis., Nov. 26, 1874, Howard E. son of Henry and Nancy Hall, aged six years and nine months.

His lovely form now in the tomb, Fast moldering back to mother dust, Will in immortal beauty bloom When the dark grave shall yield its trust. Stephen Reese.
