“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.
HUNTER.—My wife, M. Kate Hunter, departed this life March 23, 1879, at Nevada, Vernon Co., Mo. She was born in Jackson county, Alabama, Feb. 28, 1835, and with her father, Dr. Wm. G. Blake, came to Missouri when young. She was married to the writer, Dec. 25, 1855. Her husband, one son, and two daughters, with numerous friends, mourn her absence, but not without hope. She joined the Disciples in 1850, and remained with them until January, 1874, when she received the third angel’s message. She has since been a lover of the truth, and a zealous worker in the cause of God. She was patient under her long affliction, and at all times gave strong evidence of her faith in Jesus. In her last days she gave her friends strong testimonies, and with earnest appeals admonished them to keep the commandments, and prepare to meet her in that beautiful city. She said that Jesus had a beautiful crown for her. With her dying breath she cried, “Victory over death, in the name of Jesus!” She sleeps in hope. D. C. HUNTER.
MILLER.—Died of whooping-cough, at Burlington, Mich., March 25, 1879, Alta, daughter of E. B. and S. M. Miller, aged one year and seven months. Remarks by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:26. E. W. FARNSWORTH.
WELLS.—Died in Milton, Wis., Jan. 30, 1879, of a complication of diseases, my dear mother, Emily L., wife of Wm. B. Wells. Very many hold her in grateful remembrance, especially students of the Milton College who have lived with her in past years, but now reside in many different States. We hope, if faithful, to meet our precious mother when the Lifegiver shall come. M. E. STEWARD.
CHASE.—Died, March 27, 1879, at Berlin, Wis., Mrs. Martha Chase. Sister Chase was a great sufferer for more than six years. She embraced the Advent faith last summer, and died with a full hope of a part in the first resurrection. Remarks from 2 Sam. 14:14, by P. H. Cady, of Poysippi. V. B. M.
