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

FELL asleep in Jesus, at Chateaugay, Franklin Co., N. Y., Aug. 24, 1876, our beloved cousin and brother in Christ, James Wilbur, in the sixty-ninth year of his age. He was converted about twenty-three years ago under the preaching of the third angel’s message, and has since lived a devoted Christian life. He was sick a little less than forty-eight hours, and died in the triumphs of faith. A wife, four sons, and a large circle of relatives, are left to mourn their loss. A funeral discourse was given by the writer from Job 14: 14. Bro. H. W. Lawrence assisted in the services, and gave a very touching address to the mourners.

JACOB WILBUR.

DIED, of heart disease and congestion of the liver, near St. Marys, Ill., Aug. 29, 1876, sister Fannie L., daughter of John and Martha McDonald, in the twenty-sixth year of her age. Sister Fannie embraced the truth one year ago last winter, and rejoiced in its precious light to the end of her life. She was beloved and respected by all who knew her. Conscientious and upright, she always lived a very exemplary life, and now rests in hope. May her dear parents, sisters, and brethren and sisters in the church, all live so that they may meet her in that world where sickness and death never come. Funeral discourse by the writer from the words, “I am the resurrection and the life.” John 11: 25.
