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

DIED, of neuralgia, in Vernon Co., Mo., Oct. 15, 1875, Diantha, wife of H. W. Forgey, aged forty-one years. Sister F. experienced religion and united with the church at the early age of eleven years, and became a faithful member of the Old Union church in Nicholas Co., Kentucky, of which the celebrated Peter Honn was pastor for many years.

In the summer of 1843, while the tent was at Clintonville, Mo., under the labors of Bro. T. J. Butler and the writer, she embraced the Sabbath of the Lord and faith in the soon coming of Christ, which profession she adorned by a well-ordered life and unapproachable character. She leaves a husband and nine children to mourn their loss. We hope and pray that they may all so live as to be an unbroken family in the kingdom of God. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:18. J. G. Wood.

DIED, at Princeville, Ill., Dec. 31, 1875, our dear mother, Deidamia Mott, aged sixty-nine years and nine months. She sleeps sweetly in Jesus. She was an earnest believer in the third angel's message, and loved the cause of God. Funeral service by the Methodist minister, Eld. Carithers. May we so live that we may meet her when the Life-giver comes. W. W. & Josephine Mott.

DEPARTED this life, Jan. 8, 1876, my beloved companion, Joseph S. Webster, of North Star, Gratiot Co., Mich., aged forty-seven years, two months, and eight days. His disease was consumption. On the morning of his death, he was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs, from which he expired in less than five minutes. He was an esteemed citizen; in his family he was a wise counselor, a kind father, and an affectionate husband. Our home is lonely and our hearts are sad. Discourse by Bro. Fisher, from 2 Pet. 1:3, to a large and attentive congregation. CHARLOTTE WEBSTER.

DIED, Dec. 30, 1875, of dropsical consumption, at the residence of her daughter in Iowa City, Mich., our mother, Algina Lake, in the 67th year of her age. She embraced the truth under the labors of Elds. Van Horn and Canright when the tent was at Ithaca in 1864, and she continued a faithful member of the church in that place until her death. We are called to mourn; but we are comforted by the words, “Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.” LORENDA M. OGDEN.

DIED, of bilious fever, near Montevallo, Mo., Sept. 23, 1875, Susan, wife of Bro. Thomas J. Hathaway. At the time of the tent-meeting at Montevallo, in the summer of 1873, she embraced the Sabbath and other truths of the third angel's message. She lived a consistent Christian life. A husband and five children mourn their loss, but not as others without hope. Funeral discourse by the writer from Rev. 14:13. J. G. Wood.
