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

Died, at Swan Lake, Turner Co., Dakota, June 16, 1877, of scarlet fever, Frederick Christian, eldest son of Eld. Andrew and Olena Frederickson, aged 19 years and 10 months. This was a sudden blow to his friends, as he was sick but eight days, and on the 14th, two days before his death, the delirium passed away and he was considered out of danger. He had observed the Sabbath since the fall of 1874, and was always deeply interested in religious subjects. He was teaching this summer, and hoping to attend the Battle Creek College during the fall and winter. Very many join in sorrowing with his parents, who were at the time of his death, and are still, very sick and helpless with the fever.

Funeral services at some convenient future period. C. L. B. Auner.

Daniel B. Grant died, of consumption, May 12, 1877, aged 28 years, 10 months, and 6 days. He was on his way to Colorado, to regain his lost vitality when death laid claim to him. He was buried in the family burying ground, near Oswego, Kan., where he had resided for over a year. Funeral services were held at Oswego, by Eld. H. C. Blanchard. J. H. Cook.

Died, of consumption, May 17, 1877, Bro. Nicholas Smith, at the residence of his parents, in Clarkson, Monroe Co., New York, aged 57 years. Funeral sermon by the writer. Text, Job 14:14, 15. Chas. B. Reynolds.

Fell asleep, June 16, 1877, at Hobart, Lake Co., Ind., Jesse D. Hull, in the thirty-seventh year of his age. He embraced present truth under the labors of Eld. J. H. Waggoner over eighteen years ago. In his last moments he gave the brightest evidence of his acceptance with God. He leaves a wife and three children and many friends to mourn their loss. He was one of three in all this region who kept all the commandments of God.

Words of comfort by the writer from Prov. 14:32. D. D. Lightner.

Died, in Muir, Mich., Jan. 25, 1877, Carley C. Burden, son of W. W. and A. M. Burden, aged 5 years, 11 months, and 8 days. The circumstances of his death were very sad. He was sliding down hill with other children, and coming too near a frantic horse, received a kick which resulted in immediate death. His brother, on the sled with him, was also severely injured. Funeral services by Eld. Ransom, at the Presbyterian church. F. Howe.

Died, in Leonidas, Mich., May 11, 1877, Bro. Hiram H. Crowell, a member of the Colon church, aged 41 years and 6 months.

Also, Bro. L. Schellhous, aged 84 years, 1 month, and 18 days, died June 28.

These, with sister Cynthia Schellhous, who died April 2, make three of our esteemed members, who have been laid away in the grave in less than three months. But they have left a good record, having all died in the faith. D. F. Quimby.
