“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
DIED, Feb. 27, near Battle Creek, Mich., sister Mary Ann Castle, wife of F. C. Castle, aged 55 years and 7 months. Mary Ann Coburn was born in Cornish, N. H. She embraced the faith of the third angel’s message in Panton, Vt., about 25 years ago. She lived an exemplary life, winning the respect and esteem of all who knew her. She was strong in faith, and in her last sufferings claimed the promises of the Saviour, so that she could rejoice even in deep affliction. She left a husband and three children to mourn her loss.
Also March 1, at the same place, sister Mary Pratt, the mother of Bro. F. C. Castle. Sister P. had kept the Sabbath with her sons for many years, and loved the present truth. We hope to meet her also in the resurrection.
They were buried together. A large concourse of friends and neighbors attended the funeral, whom we addressed on the blessed hope of the Christian. Text, 2 Sam. 14:14.

[DROWNED in the Elkhorn River, at Neligh, Antelope County, Neb., March 7, 1878, our little son, Andy W. Just, aged 2 years. May the great God help us to bear our loss patiently; and may we soon behold him again, clad in immortality, and be worthy to embrace him where there is no more sorrow nor parting. Funeral discourse by M. Dugar.
C. A. Just.
DIED of diphtheria and paralysis, in Rockford, Ill., Feb. 7, 1878, sister N. A., wife of Bro. C. H. Clark, in the thirty-fourth year of her age. She was among the first who embraced present truth in Rockford, in the summer of 1877. She had been a devoted follower of the Lord, formerly, among the Methodists; and this devotion was increased until her decease. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her departure. Remarks at her funeral by Bro. A. H. Cleaves.
“She died in Jesus and is blessed; How sweet her slumbers are— From suffering and from pain released, She now is freed from care.”
G. W. Colcord.
DIED of consumption, at the residence of his father, near Fremont, O., Feb. 28, 1878, Emory H. Hutchins, son of Matthew and Elizabeth Hutchins, aged 33 years and 6 days. He embraced the truth in 1869. As his health began to fail, he sought the Lord with all his heart, and obtained clear evidence of his acceptance, and a bright hope of a part in the first resurrection.
His sufferings were very great, yet he bore them with patience and resignation. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn their loss.
