Obituary Notices.

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

AFTER a lingering illness occasioned by a combination of diseases, Helen E. Poss, wife of Daniel Poss, died in Pinckney, Livingston Co., Mich., Nov. 3, 1877. Sister Poss, with her husband, embraced the third angel’s message 19 years ago, under the labors of Elds. Cornell and Lawrence. Ever since she has been a faithful servant of the Lord; and now her husband and two daughters deeply mourn the loss of a devoted companion and mother. A funeral address was given from Rom. 14:7–9.

DIED, in Battle Creek, Mich., August 30, 1877, Willie E., son of Joel and Zylphia Wheelock, aged 8 months and 24 days. Though his little life was numbered by months, yet perfect patience and sweetness were manifest under the keenest sufferings. It was hard to have death fold his icy arms about this lovely form, but the hope of clasping it again when the touch of immortality shall be given to it, cheers the lonely hearts of parents and friends, who love him so dearly. May there be a complete reunion then.

“Joy of our hearts Our household pride, Could love have saved, Thou hadst not died.”

Sympathetic remarks by Eld. J. O. Corliss, from John 16:22.
