“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth” Rev. 14:13.
LARKEE.—Died, near Saint Bernard, Neb., after a severe illness of eight days, Aug. 19, 1879, David, youngest son of Frederic and Margaret Larkee, aged 1 year and 13 days. “Of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” F. AND M. LARKEE.
VAN VLACK.—Died, Aug. 25, 1879, of diphtheria and membranous croup, near Norton, Kansas, our little Merton, aged 7 months, and 10 days. We have laid our loved ones away to sweetly sleep in Jesus until the resurrection morn, when we hope to clasp them in our arms again. F. AND A. VAN VLACK.
JONES.—Died, at Avalanche, Vernon Co., Wis., Aug. 20, 1879, James Jones, aged about thirty years. Bro. Jones embraced the truth nearly a year ago, when I held meetings near Avalanche. He was chosen elder of the small church at that place. He was highly esteemed in the church and in the neighborhood. He leaves a sick wife and many relatives and friends to mourn his loss, yet not without a bright hope of seeing him among the saved in God's kingdom. O. A. JOHNSON.
CHANDLER.—Died of nervous dyspepsia and liver complaint, at Victory, Wis., July 30, 1879, Martha A. Chandler, aged 57 years. Sr. Chandler had long been a professor of religion; she united with the church at Victory fifteen years ago. During her last sickness she had words of comfort for all, and exhorted those around her to prepare to meet her in the kingdom. We laid her in the grave, there to rest till Jesus comes to call forth the silent slumberers. Funeral discourse by the writer, from 2 Sam. 14: 14. A. D. OLSEN.
BRIGHAM.—Died from a gun-shot wound, March 20, 1879, Andrew Brigham, aged 17 years. He was baptized by Eld. B. L. Whitney, and united with the Mannsville church about a year previous to his death. He was a faithful and industrious boy; but for a year or more he had been subject to fits of despondency and mental derangement, said by the doctor to be the result of an injury to his head, caused by a fall. While in one of his despondent spells he shot himself at the house of Bro. Lowrey in Lorraine. Funeral service held at Mannsville. Sermon by the writer, from 1 Cor. 2: 9. M. H. BROWN.
