“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
Died of consumption, in Parkville, St. Joseph county, Mich., Oct. 19, 1878, Ellen Sidler, aged 23 years. Sister Sidler was converted at the camp-meeting at Battle Creek four years ago, and was there baptized. She was a bright and shining light and faithful to the end. She was ambitious in teaching school, but had to leave it and go home to die. Her last hours were very triumphant. Sermon by Eld. E. W. Farnsworth. J. BYINGTON.
Died of typhoid fever, near Rennselaer Falls, N. Y., Oct. 31, 1878, Mrs. Rachel Swift, aged 48 years. Mrs. S. was converted to the doctrine of the second coming of Christ under the labors of Bro. Wm. S. Ingraham, in 1850. She married one not of our faith, and did not live up to her convictions, but has left the evidence that all was well. She was a kind mother, an affectionate wife, and a kind friend to all who knew her. Mrs. A. O. THOMPSON.
Died of aneurism in Brighton, Washington county, Iowa, Oct. 3, 1878, after six months of great suffering, my dear husband, Daniel Carmichael, aged 62 years, 11 months, and 7 days. After a funeral discourse by Mr. Vincent from the solemn words, “Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel” (Amos 4:12), we laid his dear form in the silent grave, to rest until the Lifegiver comes. Mrs. E. D. CARMICHAEL.
Died at his residence, near Peru, Madison county, Iowa, Oct. 26, 1878, Jacob Brown, aged 68 years. Father Brown embraced present truth under the labors of Bro. R. M. Kilgore, in the fall of 1876. Although after embracing present truth he was able, on account of poor health, to attend meetings but little, yet he was true to his convictions of right, and showed his faith by his works. He leaves an aged widow, and six children, most of whom are grown up, besides a large circle of relatives and friends, to mourn their loss; yet they mourn not as those that have no hope, having the blessed assurance that he belongs to that class whom the apostle Paul denominates “the dead in Christ.” Words of comfort by the writer, from Rev. 1:18. W. D. MCLAUGHLIN.
Died of membranous croup, in Schonberg, Warren county, Iowa, our two little daughters, Winnie E., Oct. 21, aged 4 years and 3 months; and Stella May, Oct. 24, aged 2 years and 8 months. Winnie was sick only twenty-four hours, Stella about two weeks. Their sufferings were intense. The night shadow is not long; the day will dawn in glory. Christ will soon come, and gather up the precious jewels that are hidden in dust and darkness. J. H. AND JENNIE MORRISON.
Died of diphtheria and croup, near Independence, Montgomery county, Kansas, Oct. 22, 1878, our babe, Robbie, aged 2 years, 7 months, and 13 days. Our hearts are sad, but we look forward to the resurrection with the fond hope that we shall then be an unbroken family. Funeral services by Bro. Carpenter. IRA L. AND ELLEN M. FULTON.
Died of typhoid pneumonia, in Palermo, Oswego county, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1878, Minnie F., daughter of Bro. and Sr. Henry Satterlee, aged 6 years and 1 day. Little Minnie was a very interesting child, and the sunshine of her parents’ home. By her meek and gentle disposition she had won the love of all who knew her. A very comforting discourse was given by Eld. F. Wheeler, from Rev. 21:4. LUCY J. EDSON.
Fell asleep in Jesus, near Sherman, Texas, Sept. 28, 1878, our infant son, Daniel Silas, aged 10 months. A. E. AND D. C. STONE.
Elsie, daughter of James and Jane Follett, died of inflammation of the brain, at Lowell, Ill., Sept. 11, 1878, aged 3 years and 8 months.
“When we see the precious blossom That we tended with such care, Quickly taken from our bosom, How our aching hearts despair. “It shall sleep, but not forever, In the lone and silent grave; Blessed be the Lord that taketh! Blessed be the Lord that gave!”
JAMES AND JANE FOLLETT.
Died in Stowe, Maine, May 5, 1878, Mrs. Nancy Howard, aged 30 years, 5 months, and 5 days. L. L. HOWARD, JR.
Died in Boylston, N. Y., Sept. 6, 1878, Thomas Sliter, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. Bro. S. embraced present truth under the labors of Brn. Taylor and Wilcox, about eight years ago. He fell asleep in full assurance of hope. D. W. COMSTOCK.
