Obituary Notices.

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

WARNER.—Died, at Osawkee, Kansas, July 2, 1879, of congestive fever, after only three days’ sickness, Clara Belle Warner, aged six years and five months. Little Belle greatly loved the Sabbath-school. J. Lamont.

BENNETT.—Died, at Spencer Mills, Mich., June 20, 1879, after a protracted illness, my mother, Mrs. Emily Bennett, aged 68 years, 4 months, and 15 days. She embraced the truth two years ago from reading, and has since been a firm believer in the third angel’s message. She suffered patiently, and died in hope. D. F. Bennett.

NUTTING.—Died of cancer, at South Amherst, Mass., June 15, 1879, our mother, Harriet E. Nutting, in the sixty-first year of her age. Her sufferings were intense for many months, but she patiently endured them all, being sustained by the Christian’s hope. Funeral discourse by Eld. G. F. Haines, from Heb. 9:27. Edward and Hattie E. Bolter.

WALTER.—Fell asleep, June 10, 1879, near Fredericktown, Ohio, our dear mother, Mary Ann Walter, aged 63 years. She was much loved by all who knew her. She leaves a husband, six children, and several grandchildren to mourn their loss; but we mourn not as others who have no hope. Funeral discourse by Eld. D. M. Canright, from 1 Cor. 15:26. John and Ada Walter.

HOBBS.—Died, April 27, 1879, Henry G. Hobbs, eldest son of Alfred Hobbs, of Sheridan, La Salle Co., Ill., aged 15 years, 9 months, and 27 days. Henry commenced keeping the Sabbath with his parents in 1871. His life has been one worthy of imitation. He bore his affliction with Christian fortitude, and was never once known to complain. He leaves one sister, five brothers, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss, but not without hope. Words of comfort were spoken at the funeral by Eld. R. F. Andrews, from John 11:25. G. A. Hobbs.

RANDOLPH.—Died, at his home near Patricksburg, Owen Co., Ind., May 16, 1879, David F. Randolph, aged 58 years, 4 months, and 21 days. He embraced the Christian faith at the age of nineteen, and united with the Separate Baptists, remaining a minister of that denomination until about 1868, when he began to search for further light, and from reading embraced the present truth. He died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn their loss.

As it was his request that Eld. S. H. Lane preach the funeral discourse, it was deferred until Eld. L. could be present. Henry F. Randolph.
