“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
LEMUEL POWERS LELAND, youngest son of John and Phebe A. Leland, fell asleep in Benona, Mich., on the morning of the 18th inst., aged 4 years, 5 months, and six days. He contracted a severe cold on his way home from Virginia with his parents, which finally settled in his throat and almost stopped his breathing; fever set in, terminating fatally. As he was a bright, obedient child, and this the first death in the family, his loss is greatly felt. Funeral discourse from Jer. 11:16, by the writer. GUSTAF A. CARLSTEDT.
My wife, A. L. Kemp, died Sept. 8, 1877. Her sufferings were great, but she bore them with patience. To those who visited her she spoke of her strong hope that she should have a part in the first resurrection, when I hope to meet her again. She received present truth some years ago from reading, and joined the church at Hillsdale, of which she was a member at the time of her death. She died at Nevada, Steuben Co., Ind., and was taken to Hillsdale to be buried. On account of sickness, I was unable to attend the funeral. JOHN KEMP.
Died of diphtheria, in Maple Grove, Mich., Nov. 16, 1877, Mary, daughter of Jehiel and Mary Mead, aged 12 years. She had kept the Sabbath with her parents 14 months; and met death with willingness and childlike faith in God. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Matt. 5:4. GEO. C. TENNEY.
