“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died of erysipelas, in Knoxville, Iowa, Dec. 11, 1877, Nancy, wife of Benjamin Morrison, aged 61 years, 8 months, and 7 days. Sister Morrison was for several years a member of the United Brethren Church. She embraced the Sabbath and kindred truths about thirteen years ago. Since that time she has adorned her profession with a well ordered life and a godly conversation. She leaves a companion, a family of eight children, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. She had the comfort, before she died, of seeing most of her children in the fold of Christ, and one of them a faithful laborer in the Master's cause. Sister Morrison sleeps, yet she, “being dead, yet speaketh” through her Christian example, and, by her deeds of kindness, she still lives in the hearts of her friends. Although, with sad hearts, her family have been called to part with their dearest earthly treasure, yet the future is radiant with hope that when the Lifegiver shall come, the broken family link will be united. Remarks from 1 Cor. 15:20. E. W. FARNSWORTH.

Funeral discourse by the writer, from Job 14:14. SAMUEL J. HERSUM.
