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

Died of consumption, near Marengo, Iowa Co., Iowa, March 17, 1878, our father T. H. Sweazey, aged 63, years, 5 months, and 8 days. Also, our mother, T. A. Sweazey, died March 24, 1878, aged 58 years and 11 months. They leave a large circle of friends and ten children to mourn their loss; but we mourn not as those who have no hope. Our mother embraced the third angel’s message four years ago, under the labors of Bro. R. M. Kilgore. Soon after she connected herself with the Victor church of S. D. Adventists, and until her death remained an exemplary Christian. P. J. AND M. M. Darnser.

Died at Humboldt, Coles Co., Ill., March 9, 1878, sister Mary C. Smith, aged 61 years. She leaves a husband and several children to mourn her loss. She was an upright consistent Christian, and although a sufferer more or less for many years, yet she always wore a smile. She kept the Sabbath for some time before her death, and we fully trust she sleeps in Jesus. C. H. Bliss.

Died of diphtheria, in Poy Sippi, Waushara Co., Wis., April 18, 1878, Emily, youngest daughter of P. H. and N. J. Cady, aged seven and one-half years. Emily was loved by all who knew her, and we have laid her in the tomb only to sleep till Jesus comes. Our only desire is to prove faithful to the end, that we may share eternal life with those who sleep in Jesus. Vesta J. Olsen.

Died in Rockford, Ill., Aug. 31, 1877, Sr. Caroline, wife of Bro. J. S. Waddels, in the thirty-seventh year of her age. She was converted at the age of twelve years, and embraced the doctrine of Christ’s soon coming about five years before her decease. In June, 1877, she commenced to observe the Sabbath. Her husband, children, and friends were cheered with the confidence that she died in hope. Funeral sermon by Eld. R. F. Andrews. G. W. Colcord.
