Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.

WEBSTER.—Died, Feb. 10, 1879, at South Lancaster, Mass., Eugene A., only son of Daniel and Nancy Webster (both deceased), aged 11 years, 1 month, and 10 days. Remarks by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:26.

He sleeps the little sufferer sleeps; His trials all are o’er; The guardian One his vigil keeps, Till death shall reign no more. Then when the trumpet we shall hear, And all the saints arise, We hope to meet our brother dear, And join him in the skies. D. A. Robinson.

DYMOND.—Died of bronchitis, near Sterling, Kansas, March 10, 1879, after an illness of ten days, Amelia, infant daughter of James and Bertha Dymond, aged four months.

The writer tried to set before the bereaved family and sympathizing friends the hope of believers as found in the words of Paul, 1 Thess. 4:13–18. W. E. Dawson.

MANN.—Died of pneumonia, Feb. 19, 1879, at Waterford, Ohio, Luther G., son of A. M. and B. E. Mann, aged 10 months. As we reached the meeting-house, another procession met us, coming to bury an aged mother. The two caskets were borne into the house at the same time. Neither party knew that the other was coming. During the services, and as the congregation passed between the dead, one a lady whose eighty-three years had fully ripened her for the tomb, the other a sweet babe torn from the aching breast of its mother, hearts were deeply moved. A. O. Burrill.
