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

Died, of inflammation of the stomach, at Monroe Center, Mich., Sept. 4, 1875, Arthur E. Lloyd, aged about 16 yrs. He kept the Sabbath with his parents and was an obedient son. His friends greatly mourn their loss. The writer attended the funeral Sept. 5, at the Green School-house which was filled with attentive hearers. Text, by request, Matt. 24:44: “Therefore be ye also ready.” J. B. Frisbie.

Died, of consumption, at Pleasantville, Mason Co., Iowa, Sept. 9, 1875, my beloved companion, Charity Smith, aged sixty-nine years and eight months. She embraced the Sabbath about fourteen years ago, and has faithfully kept it. She was patient during her sickness, and spoke often of her hope of immortality through Christ our great Redeemer. She often spoke words of comfort to her companion and children, entreating them to prepare to meet her. She leaves many friends to mourn their great loss. Charles Smith.

Died, of spinal fever, at Clyde, Ohio, July 25, 1875, our little Bertie, aged two years and five months. With sorrow and aching hearts we laid him away to rest in the silent grave. We mourn, yet not without hope; for we believe that angels have marked his grave, and that he will live again. A. A. & S. M. Hutchins.

Died, of cholera infantum, at Smithland, Woodbury Co., Iowa, Sept. 4, 1875, our little Nellie, aged eleven months. She was a lovely child, and although so young is greatly missed from the family circle. But we have laid her away in hope of meeting her again in the morning of the first resurrection. Funeral discourse by Bro. M. V. Landon, leader of the Smithland Church, from Rom. 8:25. J. L. & H. E. Jordan.
