Obituary Notices.

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

Fell asleep in Jesus, at Kenyon, Sabbath, May 19, Sr. Rebecca Evans, in the 81st year of her age. Disease, paralysis. Sr. E. had been a professor of religion about 55 years and a consistent member of the Christian church. About nine years ago, she embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, by reading. She fell asleep in hope of immortality. Sermon by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. H. F. Phelps.

Died, at Maiden Rock, Wis., May 26, 1877, S. C. Bolin, husband of Sr. Bolin, a member of the Maiden Rock church. He was thrown from his wagon in consequence of his team’s running away, and the wheels passed over his breast. He lived a few hours. Funeral discourse by Eld. Beech, Baptist, from Rev. 3:20. Calvin C. Ward.

Died, in La Grange, Wis., May 12, 1877, of consumption, Sr. Lizzie Robertson, aged 36 years, 9 months, and 27 days. The deceased was formerly a member of the Baptist Church, but she embraced the third angel’s message under the labors of Elds. Geo. C. Tenney and H. W. Decker, in the spring of 1876, and the remainder of her life she rejoiced in the love of God. She was never absent from the Sabbath meetings when it was possible for her to attend; and her last testimony there, five weeks before the day of her death, will long be remembered by the brethren and sisters present. She was a great sufferer for many months. She was conscious for some time that she must soon bid her friends a long farewell, yet her faith in Jesus was all-sufficient, and sustained her through her sufferings. She leaves a husband and two children, with other relatives, to mourn for her. Her death is a great loss to the little church of La Grange, of which she was a worthy and much-respected member. Funeral services by Eld. Taylor, of the M. E. Church. P. A. C.

Died, of consumption, in Solon, Kent Co., Mich., May 24, 1877, my husband, William Minisee, aged 50 years, 10 months, and 11 days. Although a great sufferer, he never complained. He felt that Jesus was very near him. He was converted when quite young, and joined the Methodist Church. About 18 years ago, he received the truth on the Sabbath, and has since been a faithful member of the S. D. Adventist church in Gaines. Myself and son are left to mourn our loss; but we mourn not as those that have no hope. Discourse by a Baptist minister, from Job. 13:15, a text selected by the deceased. Mary A. Minisee.

Died, of putrid sore throat, in South Kingston, R. I., May 20, 1877, Frankie, son of Job and Mary F. Briggs, aged two and a half years. Words of hope by the writer, from Job 31:15–17. P. C. Rodman.
