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

Died in Dunkirk, Ohio, Nov. 24, 1878, in her sixty-fourth year, Sister C. Jane Hough, wife of Alfred Hough. Her disease was an affection of the lungs. We were with Sr. Hough in her last illness, and conversed with her a few hours before death. She was calm and hopeful in God, saying that she had made her preparation for death while she was well. It was through her entreaty that Bro. Rupert and Underwood, came to Dunkirk to present the truth. The godly life of herself and husband had a good influence for the truth here. She lived just long enough to see a little church raised up in answer to her prayers, and then died in peace.

At the age of sixteen she became a Christian. About seventeen years ago, in the State of Illinois, she, with her husband, embraced the present truth by reading. Bro. Hough is now left lonely, but he is consoled by the blessed hope. The funeral was attended by a large number of friends. Discourse by the writer from Rev. 14:13. A. O. Burrill.

Died near Clarence, Iowa, Nov. 29, 1878, Robert Greenlaw, in the eighty-ninth year of his age. The deceased was born in Scotland, and emigrated to Canada nearly thirty years ago. About six years ago he came to this place, to spend his last days with a nephew. For over four years he had been a constant reader of the REVIEW, and he heartily embraced the truths it advocates. Although so far advanced in life, his perception of divine truth was clear and his love for it most ardent. On account of age and infirmities he was shut in from the world, but his prayers—who can estimate their worth? The U. P. minister chose for his text Ps. 12:1. His remarks were very appropriate and impressive. A. Bosworth.

Died of consumption, in Fort Scott, Kansas, Dec. 18, 1878, Bro. Amasa Edwards, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. The deceased embraced the truth two years ago at Monmouth, Crawford county, Kansas, under the labors of the writer. His health was such that he was much of his time kept away from meetings; yet he stood firmly for the truth, and rejoiced in its light. He died in the blessed hope. Funeral services by the writer. J. H. Cook.

Died of consumption, near Ligonier, Noble county, Ind., Dec. 31, 1878, Bro. Henry May, aged 67 years. Bro. May has been a faithful member of the Ligonier church for about two years. He was ever willing to bear his testimony on the Lord’s side. Words of comfort by Eld. J. S. Shrock from 1 Thess. 4:14–18. E. D. Stutzman.

Died of typhoid fever in Calhoun, Richland county, Ill., Dec. 7, 1878, Ina May Bolinger, daughter of Henry and Naomi Bolinger, aged 11 years, 4 months, and 17 days. She was a gentle and obedient child, and is the first of the family to be laid away to sleep till Jesus comes. E. J. Connet.

Died of croup, near Noblesville, Ind., Dec. 30, 1878, Edward A., infant son of Absalom and Mary Shafer, aged 9 months and 18 days. W. W. Sharp.
