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

Died in Waterbury, Vt., March 4, 1878, sister Eliza Ann Bruce, aged 53 years, 10 months, and 11 days. Sister B. embraced the Sabbath 21 years since. She was an example of meekness and piety. She loved her Bible, watched with interest the prosperity of the closing work of mercy for the world, and rejoiced as she read of its being borne to the different nations of the world.

Declining health for years reminded our dear sister of the uncertainty of life. At the time of her death she was staying with her only daughter, having left her home hoping possibly to gain a little strength and improve her health. But alas! this faint hope was not realized. Her husband and only son were soon summoned to mingle their tears and sighs with the daughter, as they laid the dear companion and loving mother away to rest, till the Lifegiver shall come.
