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

DIED, of consumption, Aug. 2, 1877, in Ashland, Mich., at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Warts, sister Jane Stillman, aged 74 years. She had been for 53 years a professor of Christianity. Formerly a Methodist, she embraced the doctrine of the soon-coming of the Saviour in 1843, and the Sabbath under the labors of Bro. James White, 25 years ago. She has ever been a consistent Christian, and leaves a bright evidence that “all is well,” an expression often used by her in her last hours. Through her influence, quite a number are interested in the truth. Remarks by the writer from 1 Thess. 4: 13, 14, a text chosen by herself. J. L. Edgar.

DIED, at Waubeck, Wis., Aug. 3, 1877, Mrs. Mary Minor, aged 63 years. She leaves thirteen children and a husband to mourn their loss. She was a Catholic for many years, but said before her death that she wanted the writer to preach her funeral discourse. She was a good mother and neighbor. This makes five funeral discourses which I have preached for Catholics within one year. D. Downer.

DIED, of cancer in the stomach, at Mount Hope, Wis., July 30, 1877, Wm. W. Brown, aged 38 years. He bore his sufferings, which lasted nearly two years, with much patience. A wife and one child mourn their loss. He had kept the Sabbath 9 years. The funeral services were held at Waterloo, where words of comfort were spoken by the writer to the sorrowing friends, and a large congregation. I. Sanborn.
