“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth” Rev. 14:13.
KILBOURN.—Died of consumption, at Burlingame, Osage Co., Kansas, Feb. 27, 1879, Mrs. Kate Kilbourn, aged 38 years and 3 months. In the spring of 1874, while at Walla Walla, W. T., she embraced present truth under the labors of Eld. Van Horn. She was afterward deprived of the society of Sabbath-keepers for over four years, but remained true to her religion, and endeavored to instruct her children in the truths of the Bible. Her husband and three children are now with the church at State Center, Iowa. They are trying to live so as to meet their loved one beyond the trials of this life. Mrs. G. V. Kilgore.
REDDINGTON.—Died of inflammation of the bowels, July 1, 1879, in Charlotte, Eaton Co. Mich., William Reddington, aged 18 years. Through the faithful efforts of his mother and sister, William gave his heart to God last January. The day before he was taken sick the family at whose house he was staying were away from home; and on returning they found him in deep exercise of mind. He told them he was so burdened in his mind that he had spent most of the day in prayer, and felt that the Lord had greatly blessed him. His mother and sister, living thirty miles distant, were apprised of his illness; but the former being too feeble to visit him, his sister hastened to his bedside, and for two weeks faithfully watched over him until his death. He patiently endured intense suffering, and often expressed perfect resignation to the will of God. His remains were brought to Ceresco, and funeral services were held in the Congregational house of worship. We spoke briefly from 1 Thess. 4:18. J. Byington.
FLUM.—Died, near Humboldt, Neb., Feb. 6, 1879, Mary, wife of A. J. Flum. Bro. and Sr. Flum were members of the Baptist church until less than a year before her death, when the light of the third angel’s message shone upon their pathway, and together they received and walked in this light. Sr. F. now rests in hope, while her husband has the solemn responsibility of instructing seven children in the way of truth and virtue. May the Lord help him to discharge this duty faithfully. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Job 14:14. Chas. L. Boyd.
