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

Died, March 29, 1876, of consumption, at the residence of Bro. James Gilbert, near Marshall, Calhoun Co., Mich., sister Diana Allen, aged thirty-two years. Ten years ago, she made a profession of religion and joined the Baptist church. Two years ago her attention was called to the Bible Sabbath and kindred truths, which she accepted and obeyed. When near her death, she expressed her faith in the soon coming of the Lord, and yielded up her life with hope of a part in the first resurrection. An address was given from 1 Thess. 4:13. M. B. Miller.

Esther E. Dawley, daughter of sister Delilah Dawley, died in Union City, Branch Co., Mich., March 28, 1876, aged eighteen years. The cause of her death was disease of the spine. From this and blindness she had been a sufferer for ten years, and though this terrible affliction had impaired her senses in a measure, she delighted in the Sabbath and expressed strong faith in Jesus. Funeral address by Eld. Hamilton, Methodist, from Ps. 39:4. M. B. Miller.

Died, in Hartland, Me., April 10, 1876, of consumption, Emma Blake, daughter of Eld. Abram and Abbie Barns, aged 21 years, 1 month, and 22 days. She was baptized May 31, 1875, at Richmond. She died in the triumphs of faith.

“She sleeps in Jesus—blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep.”

May God bless the afflicted husband and family, and they at last meet where the inhabitants will not say, I am sick. Remarks by the writer from Ps. 23:4. J. B. Goodrich.

Died, of consumption, in Providence, N. Y., March 25, 1876, S. W. Austin, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. It is about ten years since this dear brother became an Adventist, and he has lived a consistent life. Funeral discourse by Eld. Warner, Christian minister, from Job 14:14. D. W. Eldridge.

Died, of gangrene, in Lapeer, Mich., April 10, 1876, Catherine V., wife of George Stringer, aged 55 years and 10 months. Sister S. embraced the third angel’s message about eighteen years ago under the labors of Eld. Cornell, and has maintained her profession ever since. She was formerly a member of the Presbyterian church. She was a great sufferer for over three months, and longed to rest. A husband and six children mourn their loss, but not as those who have no hope. R. J. Lawrence.

Bro. and Sr. Robert Carr, of Braddyville, Iowa, send the sad intelligence of the death of three more of their children, making four they have lost this winter. Lois R. died March 20, aged 21 years, 10 months, and 23 days; Olive L., March 14, aged 8 years and 7 months; Ellen G., March 22, aged 3 years and 7 months. Disease, diphtheria and lung fever. This afflicted family sorrow, but not as those that have no hope. Lois was among the first to embrace the truth when it was first preached at Randolph, Catt. Co., N. Y., being then only about 13 years of age. She was baptized by Bro. Canright in 1871. She has ever loved the truth and tried to live it out. She rests in hope. R. F. Cottrell.
