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

Died, near Convis, Mich., March 28, 1878, sister Mary A Sisley, wife of Bro. John Sisley. For years her health has been failing, and she fell a victim to consumption after an illness of two years, at the age of 39 years and 7 months. She embraced the cause of Christ in 1863, and has since been a worthy member of the S. D. A. church in Convis. She died peacefully, trusting in her Saviour, and left to a large circle of mourning friends the brightest evidence of her acceptance with God. The funeral discourse was given by the writer, from the first part of Isa. 53:4. Geo. C. Tenney.

Fell asleep in Jesus, Feb. 20, 1878, at Sterling, Blue Earth Co., Minn., Ella Rose, daughter of Bro. and sister C. N. Plumb, aged 2 years and 7 months. Her death, which was caused by pneumonia, was very sudden; but she will soon come again from the land of the enemy. Words of comfort were spoken by Eld. J. E. Conrad (Presbyterian), from 1 Thess. 4:15. Emma Merickel.
