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

Died, near Allentown, O., Jan. 15, 1877, Ottawa F., son of Albert and Mary E. Wike, aged thirteen years, nine months, twenty-three days. His suffering was intense for fourteen days, occasioned by a gathering in his head, of which he died. He had kept the Sabbath with his parents over seven years. Before he died, he requested the brethren to come in and pray for him. Funeral discourse from Ps. 115:17, by Eld. W. Lobaugh, Christian.

A. Wike.

Died, in Pine River, Jan. 11, 1877, Sr. Lydia Ann, wife of Bro. Daniel Wood, aged thirty years and a few days. Sr. Wood with her husband fully embraced present truth about one year ago, was baptized, and received into the Alma church. Her disease was consumption, in which she lingered a few months; but as death approached, her prospects of immortality brightened; and a few minutes before she died she sang,

“The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows his mercy mine, And whispers I am his.”

She leaves a husband and three children.

F. Nelson.
