“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Fell asleep in Jesus, sister Jane Demorest, wife of Bro. David Demorest, of North Parma, Monroe Co., N. Y., aged seventy-five years. Sister D. embraced the truth of the Sabbath over 16 years ago. The Sabbath meeting of the last quarterly meeting of the church was appointed at her house. The Spirit of the Lord was present in power. Sister D. rejoiced in the fair promise of additions to the church, and gave a glad, hopeful, happy testimony. Her closing words were: “My work is over; I can do no more. But go on, brethren and sisters, labor for Jesus, strive to bring souls into the truth: and I hope to meet you and hear spoken to you the well and faithfully done.” Immediately after, she desired to be taken to her room, was stricken with paralysis, and was unable to speak again. She remained conscious, manifesting it by the pressure of the hand when asked if she knew those speaking to her. She lingered until nearly midnight, Wednesday, Dec. 8, and without a struggle, in full assurance of living faith, passed into the “blessed sleep.” Funeral discourse, by request, from Rev. 14:13. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.
Died, in South Norridgewock, Maine, Dec. 3, 1875, Mary Ann Jones, aged forty-nine years. She was one of the first to embrace the truth under the labors of Elds. J. N. Andrews and Cornell, when the tent was first pitched in N. She has been faithful. She died in the triumphs of faith, and is now at rest, soon to awake in the likeness of her Master. Discourse by the writer from Prov. 18: 24. J. B. GOODRICH.
Fell asleep, we trust, in Jesus, at Linwood, Butler Co., Neb., Dec. 15, 1875, Charles N., son of H. N. and S. A. Willsey, aged sixteen years. Funeral discourse by Eld. Farnsworth.
Fell asleep in Jesus, Jan. 6, 1876, at Lovington, Moultrie Co., Ill., Laura May, daughter of Dudley N. and Julia B. Story, aged one year, seven months and five days. She had a gentle disposition and amiable qualities for one so young. Remarks by the writer. DENNIS MORRISON.
