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

FELL asleep in Jesus, June 5, 1877, at State Centre, Marshall Co., Iowa, Sr. Laura M. Sawyer, aged 48 years. She embraced the third angel’s message under the labors of Eld. E. R. Patterson, in southern Iowa, about five years ago, and became a member of the State Centre church of S. D. Adventists. She leaves a companion and eleven children to mourn their great loss. She is greatly missed by the church, as she was an able worker in the cause of God. Words of comfort by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15: 42–44.

CHAS. BROWN.

GENTLY fell asleep, at Bloomington, Grant Co., Wis., May 6, 1877, our mother, Sarah A. Bassett, in the sixty-seventh year of her age. Her disease was congestion of the lungs. She had been an observer of the Lord’s Sabbath for the past eight years, and was a believer in the truths of the third angel’s message. She was much loved by all who knew her. Funeral services were held at the Waterloo meeting-house by Eld. J. Ganiard. We hope to meet our mother in the resurrection morn.

WILLIAM AND SARAH HAVERLAND.

DIED, in Geneva, Ill., March 29, 1877, of consumption, our dear sister, Sarah H. Burlingham, aged 81 years and 4 months. She was among the first of the Adventists to embrace the Bible Sabbath. By faith she looked forward to the time when the trumpet shall sound, and she shall awake from the tomb, clothed with immortality; and when she can say, “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” Her last words, when asked if the Saviour was precious, were, “Yes; oh, how precious!”
