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

Died, Feb. 9, 1876, near Ithaca, Gratiot Co., Mich., my beloved mother, Mary Mellinger, in the sixty-second year of her age. She leaves a companion and seven children, besides a large circle of friends, to mourn their loss. She has been a consistent member of the S. D. A. church of Ithaca, Mich., for eleven years. Her life has been one of self-denial. She has always sought the good of others, and by her meek and quiet spirit gained the love and esteem of all who knew her. She endured much pain, and the last few weeks of her life were marked with intense suffering. We mourn, but not as those who have no hope. She gave good evidence of her acceptance with God, and we expect, when the last trump shall sound, that she will be clothed with immortality. Funeral discourse by Eld. Van Auken (Methodist). Text: “I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.” Ps. 17: 15. R. F. PHIPPENY.

Died, of diphtheria, in Fort Dodge, Iowa, Feb. 3, 1876, Elmer E, only son of Wm. and Alice Courier, aged seven years and five months. He had a gentle disposition and amiable qualities for one so young. By request, a few remarks were made by the writer from Job 14: 10. W. B. EVERHART.

Died, of consumption, near Corsicana, Texas, Jan. 31, 1876, sister Addie L. Bartholf age twenty-four years. Only a few weeks previous to her death, she came here with her parents from Whitewater, Wis., hoping to receive benefit from the change of climate, but the disease was too far advanced. Addie was baptized at the age of fourteen by Eld. I. Sanborn, and was firm in the faith till the last. Having endured with the most perfect patience, she at last triumphed over her sufferings and exhorted all to be ready to meet her in the kingdom of God. Remarks by the writer from 1 Cor. 15: 26. M. E. CORNELL.
