“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, at the residence of James Lane in Convis, Mich., Jan. 25, 1877, Mrs. Elizabeth Drinkwater. Mrs. D. was born in Worcestershire, England, in March, 1786, and was at the time of her death nearly 91 years of age. Though she suffered greatly, she bore it patiently, going down to the grave like a shock of corn fully ripe and in the hope of a better life hereafter. She was the oldest woman in the town of Convis, and Eld Palmiter, the next oldest person in town, aged 83, was at the funeral. Two of the bearers were over 70. The funeral was attended by Eld U. Smith of Battle Creek, at our house of worship, Jan. 27. Thos. Lane.
DIED, at North Vineland, N. J., at the residence of her son, W. J. Boynton, Jan. 7, 1877, Abigail Rogers. She was born at Newburyport, Mass., April 28, 1814. She gave her heart to the Lord and united with the Baptist Church at the age of fourteen years. Eighteen years since, she embraced the views of Seventh-day Adventists; and from that time her heart and hand have been with those “that keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Remarks at her funeral from Ps. 17:15. N. Orcutt.
DIED, near Elk Point, Dak., Jan. 25, 1877, Minnie K., daughter of Bro. and Sr. Henry Hendrickson, aged two years, six months and eight days. Little Minnie was standing by the side of her father, watching a tree fall, when a large limb fell, striking her upon her head, causing almost instant death. Thus suddenly are her parents bereft; but they sorrow not without hope. Funeral discourse by the writer, from 2 Kings 4:26. E. W. Farnsworth.
DIED, in Oasis, near Plainfield, Waushara County, Wisconsin, Mrs. Diana McLaughlin, wife of Elijah McLaughlin, aged 79 years, 11 months and 27 days. Sister McLaughlin was a firm believer in the third angel’s message. Her consistent walk and Christian deportment won for her the love and respect of all her neighbors. She leaves a husband and family who deeply mourn their loss. Sermon by William Bennett, Methodist, from Ps. 23:4. Abram Kisner.
DIED, in Deering, Me., Jan. 21, 1877, Mr. James Lord, aged 96 years. He had kept the Sabbath many years. Funeral sermon by R. S. Webber.
