“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, of heart disease, in Keene, N. Y., March 1, 1875, Bro. Samuel Washbond, in the 74th year of his age. He embraced the truth as soon as he heard it, and was an observer of the Sabbath for several years. His closing experience, although he was a great sufferer, was quite satisfactory, and his friends sorrow not as those who have no hope. S. B. WHITNEY.
DIED, of inflammation of the bowels, near Vermontville, N. Y., March 31, 1875, Sr. Thomas, wife of Bro. John Thomas, in the 62d year of her age. She, with her entire family, was among the first to embrace the truth in that vicinity, and remained firm in her adherence to it to the last. During her last sickness, which was brief, she expressed strong faith in God, and her friends feel that her flesh rests in hope. S. B. WHITNEY.
DIED, near Decatur, Burt Co., Neb., April 26, 1875, S. H. Sands, aged 77 years and 2 months. Also, at the same place, March 26, 1875, Melinda A., wife of S. H. Sands, aged 66 years and 10 months. Sister Sands has been an observer of the Lord’s Sabbath for about ten years. When the first S. D. Adventist church in Nebraska was organized by Bro. Butler, she was received into the church on condition of being baptized, but declining health prevented her ever going forward in this ordinance. Funeral discourse by the writer, May 30, from the words, “If a man die, shall he live again?” CHAS. L. BOYD.
DIED, of bilious fever, in South Windsor, Ohio, May 18, 1875, Mary C. North, wife of Samuel North, aged 72 years. This aged couple have read the Voice with much interest ever since it was first published. M. E. UNDERWOOD.
DIED, in Kingston, Meeker Co., Minn., May 30, 1875, Emma L., only daughter of Bro. Isaac W. and Sr. Amy Cook, aged 7 years and 1 month. The afflicted parents are comforted by the hope that she “shall come again from the land of the enemy,” when “the Redeemer shall come to Zion.” Words of comfort by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13–18. D. P. CURTIS.
