“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Fell asleep in Jesus, near Morrison, Jefferson Co., Colorado, March 21, 1877, of consumption, Sister Sophia E. Wright, daughter of Stanbury and Mary F. Wright, aged 32 years. She, with her family, embraced the third angel’s message six years ago in Kansas, since which time she has been a faithful commandment-keeper. She died in the triumphs of faith, and rejoiced in the goodness of God. She leaves an aged father and mother, one brother, and eight sisters. But we realize that we part but for a moment.
Funeral discourse by the writer from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14.
She is gone! but her memory lingers Round each dear, familiar spot; A holy influence breathing In our hearts to perish not.
R. H. Stewart.
Died, in Richfield, Mich., Feb. 5, 1877, Russel Peters, aged 78 years and 19 days. This aged Bro. fell asleep in hope of a resurrection with the just. For many years he has professed faith in the truth, and has endeavored to keep all the commandments of God.
In his last moments he seemed to feel that the Saviour was near, and that he was only to sleep until the morning of the resurrection, then to enter a life where sickness and death should never come. Discourse by Eld. Hait, Free Methodist, from Matt. 24:44. GEO. RANDALL.
Died, in Colon, Mich., April 2, 1877, Sr. Cynthia Schellhaus, aged 84 years, 2 months, and 25 days. She embraced the truth nearly twenty years ago, under the preaching of Elds. Joseph Bates and J. H. Waggoner, and from that time she has been a pillar in the church of her choice. It has been the privilege of the writer within the last four years to listen with rapt attention to her stirring exhortations, which breathed the spirit of the Master. Remarks were made by the writer from 2 Pet. 1:5–11. D. F. Q.
Died, January 16, 1877, at Waterloo, Wis., of scarlet fever, Vina, youngest daughter of Bro. and Sr. F. A. Elwell, aged 1 year, 5 months, and 9 days. Burial services conducted by Eld. J. Ganiard. Remarks, from Job. 14. V. L. G.
Fell asleep in Jesus, on April 2nd our dearly beloved brother, Chas. W. Bartlett, aged 20 years. He embraced present truth two years since, and died in the Lord, having kept the faith, having fought a good fight. C. possessed a gentle and loving disposition, and won the hearts of many by his Christian demeanor.
He recently graduated at this place, and soon after his graduation attended the B. C. College; but unfortunately he labored too hard, both physically and mentally, which resulted in his death.
As we placed him in his bed of earth, we were greatly cheered with the “blessed hope” of a soon coming Jesus. Remarks by the writer, from Rev. 14:13.
ARTHUR W. BARTLETT.
Died, at Chase’s Mills, N. Y., Robert Clemons, aged 70 years. He was a believer in the personal coming of Christ, and at the time of his death was associated with the Seventh-day Adventists. He leaves a son, three daughters, and an aged widow, who are sustained by the hope they have in the resurrection of the dead. Remarks from Ps. 17:15. C. PIKE.
Died, in Gallatin, Daviess Co., Mo., March 12, 1877, little Minnie, only daughter of John and Sallie A. Snider, aged 3 years and 20 days. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Jer. 31:15, 16. C. H. CHAFFEE.
Died, Apr. 1, at Brightwood, Mass., our only child, Arthur P., aged three months. Funeral services by Eld. H. Pratt, first-day Adventist. We hope to meet our lost one when Jesus awakes his sleeping saints.
