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

Died, of spinal fever, at Williams, Bay Co., Mich., May 3, 1875, Birdie, daughter of F. J. and J. A. Holman, aged six years and eleven months. They sorrow, but not as the world sorrows. They hope to meet her again in the resurrection. Discourse from John. 16: 22. J. O. Corliss.

Died, at Trenton, Mo., April 11, 1875, sister Emogene D. Winters, wife of H. Winters, aged 29 years. She died in faith of a part in the first resurrection. Funeral services were conducted by the Baptist minister. L. R. Long.

Died, in Portland, Maine, May 21, 1875, Rachel D. Waterman, aged 79 years. Sister Waterman embraced the Bible Sabbath in 1845. She loved the present truth, and we believe she sleeps in Jesus to come forth when the last trump shall sound. E. Lobdell.

Died, in Pitcairn, N. Y., April 14, 1875, of inflammation of the lungs, sister Francis Graves, aged 55 years and 3 months. Sister Graves was formerly a member of the Methodist church, but after hearing a course of lectures about two years ago, she became a firm believer in the soon coming of the Saviour and the Sabbath of the Lord, to which faith she strictly adhered until the time of her death. As she possessed great firmness and integrity of character, her friends and relatives, and brethren and sisters in Christ, deeply feel their loss. She manifested great resignation to the will of God during her sickness, and died in the bright hope of soon receiving a crown of everlasting life. Henry H. Wilcox.

Died, March 27, 1875, in South Kingston, R. I., Sr. Lucinda B. Tucker, wife of Bro. J. C. Tucker, aged 44 years and 9 months. Sr. T. has been an invalid much of her life and at times a great sufferer; but she bore her sufferings with commendable patience. She joined the Free Baptist church in early life, but about eleven years ago she embraced the third angel’s message, which truth she loved until death. She was a faithful and devoted wife and mother; and strangers were always welcome at her home. Her last sickness lasted about one year, during which time she suffered much. Her husband was with her most of the time night and day, and, with her mother and son, did what could be done for her comfort. But she now rests in hope. May her friends be sustained in their bereavement by the grace of God. Words of comfort by the writer. P. C. Rodman.
