“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died at Duplain, Mich., July 3, 1878, Sr. Mary J. Dunlap, aged 44 years. The above death happened under the following painful circumstances: Sr. Dunlap was returning home from Ovid, alone, with a covered carriage. When about one mile from Ovid, as nearly as can be ascertained, a rifle bullet was shot into the back of the carriage in such a way as to strike the back of her head, undoubtedly causing instant death. Within about half a mile she was met, and her horse stopped. She was dead when found. It is supposed that she was shot accidentally by some parties shooting in a field near the road.
Sr. Dunlap embraced the third angel’s message in 1867, and was a member of the Duplain and Greenbush church to the time of her death. She was held in very high esteem by all who knew her. A husband and three children mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by the M. E. minister in charge at Duplain, Eld. Jacobes. E. M. Emerson
Died of intermittent fever, at Mantorville, Dodge county, Minn., July 26, 1878, Sr. Barbara Fellows, aged 38 years and 2 days. Sr. Fellows embraced the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus about five years ago, by reading. She leaves a husband and six children to mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as others who have no hope. Discourse by the writer, on the Christian’s hope. Heb. 6:19. L. H. Ellis.
Died of consumption, at Monroe, Iowa, July 20, 1878. Jennie, daughter of Bro. and Sr. Perrin, aged 26 years, 8 months, and 26 days. Jennie died in hope of a glorious immortality when Jesus comes. Last January her youngest sister, Maggie, died of the same disease, in her 20th year. Thus within seven months Death has taken from this father and mother in Israel two of their loved ones, to hold them in his cold embrace till released by the voice of the Son of God. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, to a large gathering of people, from 1 Cor. 15. J. B. Bennington.
After four months of great suffering, Cleora M. Butler fell asleep in Christ, at Thetford, Mich., July 1st, 1878, in the twenty-seventh year of her age. She lived a short but useful life, and died mourned by many warm friends. Myron C. and Sarah A. Butler.
