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

Bro. Asa Loveland, of Irasburgh, Vt., fell asleep in Jesus, April 25, 1878, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. For twenty-five years he was a companion of those trying to keep all the commandments of God, and looking for the near coming of the Saviour.

Bro. L. was pronounced a man of strict integrity in business matters. His faith in the final triumph of truth was ever firm. The church will miss his encouraging words. A companion and ten children survive him. The seal of death was set upon his lips while quoting the eleventh verse of the eighty-fourth Psalm.

Funeral services at the home where he had spent about fifty years. A. S. Hutchins.

Died of measles and brain fever, near New Market, Va., April 9, 1878, Mary Agnes, youngest child of Bro. Simeon and Sr. Ada Woods, aged 1 year, 7 months, and 12 days. Little Mary was snatched away in the bloom of health and sweet innocence. It seemed as though an angel hand shaped a beautiful smile on her lips, to be renewed on the bright morning of the resurrection. May all the family meet her in the fair home of Heaven.

Funeral address by the writer, assisted by Bro. Daddisman, before a large and sympathetic audience. E. B. Lane.

Died of inflammation of the stomach, at her home in Vienna, Dane Co., Wis., May 1, 1878, Sr. Sarah Eggleston, wife of Bro. Richmond Eggleston, aged 65 years, 10 months, and 7 days. Sr. Eggleston embraced present truth about fifteen years ago. Although a sufferer for many years, she seemed resigned to the will of the Lord. She leaves a husband, one daughter, and many friends to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by Eld. Burnet (Methodist), from 1 Tim. 4:8. Lucy M. Lindsay.
