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

Died, in Vicksburg, Mich., Dec. 11, 1876, of cancerous tumor, sister Emily S. Graham, in the 60th year of her age. Sister G. heard the pioneers of the great Advent movement in the first message, and gladly embraced, and rejoiced in, the truth for that time. Fourteen years ago she heard the proclamation of the third message, and was baptized by Eld. John Byington, in North Liberty, Ind. She has lived a consistent Christian life, and was esteemed as one of the excellent of the earth. A surviving companion deeply feels her loss, but is sustained by the blessed hope. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Vicksburg, the 13th inst. U. S.

Died, at Blue Valley, Neb., Nov. 28, little Henry, son of Bro. and Sister Albert Hedgcock. Funeral discourse by the writer, Nov. 30, it being the fourth anniversary of his birthday, from the comforting words “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” The lonely parents have the consolation of the religion of Jesus to cheer them in this hour of trial. Chas. L. Boyd.
