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

Died, in Scott, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1876, of a complication of diseases, Emily W., wife of Thomas W. Potter, in the sixty-first year of her age. In early life, she became the subject of divine grace, and united with the first Seventh-day Baptist church of Verona. About twenty years ago, she adopted the views of the Seventh-day Adventists, in which faith she died. Her life has always been that of an exemplary Christian. Her sickness, though long and painful, was endured without a murmur; and when it became certain that she could not recover, a firm faith in Christ as her Saviour was her sure support. She was a faithful wife and devoted mother, and leaves a husband and three children to mourn their loss. D. K. Davis.

My wife, Emily Brock, fell asleep in Jesus Sept. 26, 1876, aged twenty-eight years. Her disease was quick consumption. She bore her affliction with patience. She leaves me with two little children to mourn the loss of a kind companion and an affectionate mother. But I sorrow not as others who have no hope. She was brought up a Methodist, but embraced the truth two years ago, near Canola, Kansas, under the labors of Brn. Cook and Lamont. Richard Brock.

Bertha, only child of Allen and Philinda Moon, departed this life Oct. 6, 1876, aged eleven months and seven days. Her disease was cholera infantum. We have laid her in the silent tomb to wait for the blessed morning of the resurrection. At the funeral, words of consolation were spoken by F. W. Morse. P. Moon.

Died, in Richmond, Ind., Oct. 3, 1876, of congestive malarial fever, Ezra F., son of Benj. F. and Sophronia Wilkinson, aged thirty-one years and eleven months. We mourn not as those without hope, believing that our dear son will have part in the first resurrection. B. F. Wilkinson.

Mary A. Tracy Morey was born in Colchester, Ct., Sept. 16, 1818, and fell asleep in Clarksville, Butler Co., Iowa, Sept. 22, 1876, aged fifty-eight years and six days. She was a friend to the friendless, a model mother, and a devoted Christian. Mary V. Cottrell.

Fell asleep in Jesus, Oct. 14, 1876, our beloved brother, William Fleener, at his residence near Oakland, Illinois, aged sixteen years and five months. This dear brother embraced the present truth in the summer of 1875. Since that time he has lived a life truly devoted to the cause. Those that witnessed his death say they never saw so complete a triumph. He shouted “Glory to God” many times, until his voice was hushed in death. He leaves many friends to mourn their loss. The mother, who will soon follow her son to his peaceful abode, embraced the truth at the same time, under the labors of Bro. C. H. Bliss. Burial services conducted by Bro. H. P. Ritchey. M. L. Ellis.
