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

Died of consumption, Nov. 3, 1878, at the residence of her father near Alma, Mich., Sister Martha J. Burningham, aged 20 years. The deceased was the companion of Bro. Frank Burningham, and daughter of Bro. and Sr. Geo. W. and Harriet States. A little more than a year before her death she gave her heart to the Lord; and she has since been a firm believer in the third angel's message, and had a great desire that others should obey the truth. She bore her affliction with patience, and would often say, “How good the Lord has been to me.” Remarks by the writer, from Rom. 6:23. Titus Z. Andrews.
