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

Died, Sept. 16, 1877, in Allegan, at the home of her daughter, H. P. Booth, Sarah Jones, of Hillsdale, Mich. She embraced the truths of the gospel 21 years ago, under the labors of Bre. Bates and Waggoner, and has since endeavored to lead a consistent Christian life. Eighteen months ago she was stricken by disease of the progressive paralytic form; and at last, purified through suffering to child-like sweetness, she sleeps well, fearing no evil beyond the dark valley.

“We would the great world grow like thee Through suffering to something good: Then all God’s ways were understood Through substance of the faith we see.”

Frank M. Jones. Henrietta P. Booth.

Died, Aug. 23, 1877, in Burnside, Wis., Julia A., daughter of William and Laura Hurlburt, aged 1 year, 3 months, and 28 days. Their loss is great, but they feel the parting will not be long. Funeral discourse by the writer. Text, Deut. 32:29.

D. Downer.

Died, of typhoid fever, in Antrim, Shiawassee Co., Mich., Sept. 2, 1877, Libbie A. Banks, eldest daughter of Montraville and Maria S. Banks, in the eighteenth year of her age. She was a member of the Antrim church, and for the past two and a half years had led a devoted Christian life, which enabled her parents to lay her in the grave with a bright hope of her having a part in the first resurrection. Discourse from Rev. 14:13.

M. B. Miller.

Died, of summer complaint, after an illness of about one week, near Modale, Harrison Co., Iowa, Aug. 26, 1877, Irene Estella, daughter of George and Rebecca Ann Jeys, aged 8 months and 9 days. Discourse by the writer, from Jer. 31:15–17.

Died, of dysentery, Aug. 7, 1877, in Jamaica, Vt., Alfred E., son of Emerson and Fidelia Edson, aged 3 years, 7 months, and 17 days. When the Lifegiver shall come, we hope again to meet our loved and lost one.
