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

DIED, of typhoid fever, near Smethport, McKean Co., Pa., Oct. 17, 1877, our beloved sister, Hannah Stickles, wife of Bro. Hiram Stickles, aged 46 years and 7 months. She leaves a large circle of friends, a husband, and three children; but they mourn not as those that have no hope. She embraced the third angel’s message about twenty-two years ago. Soon after she connected herself with the McKean Co. church of S. D. Adventists. But they soon became scattered—many moving away. For twelve years she and her husband were alone. While the tent was pitched near them last summer, she became more than usually earnest in the work of preparation to meet the Lord. Afterward she united with the Port Alleghany church, which, in her death, has lost another worthy member.

DIED, in Clermont, Iowa, Nov. 13, 1877, Elvira, wife of L. S. Nutting, aged 50 years. Sister Nutting was born in Waterbury, Vermont. She embraced the Christian religion at the age of eleven years, and from that time lived a consistent Christian life. She embraced the Bible Sabbath and kindred truths nearly twenty years ago, by reading, and when the West Union, Iowa, church was organized fourteen years ago, she became a member. As she lived eight miles from our place of worship, and had poor health, she had few opportunities of attending meeting; but her Bible, her hymn book, and the REVIEW, have been her companions. She leaves a deeply afflicted husband and five children to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope.

We truly hope that this affliction may be sanctified to their eternal good, and that they may seek the Lord, and be ready to meet the wife and mother in a better world.
