Obituary.

By B. L. Whitney

DIED, of typhoid pneumonia, Aug. 14, 1879, at Adams Center. N. Y., Sister Mary L., wife of Bro. Wm. H. Brown, aged 35 years, 2 months, and 9 days. Sister Mary was converted at about seventeen years of age, and received baptism at the hands of Bro. White, at Brookfield, N. Y. On removal to Adams Center she united with the church at that place.

Always ready to give her cheerful co-operation to any enterprise for the advancement of the Master’s cause, her loss will be deeply felt, not only by the church to which she belonged, but wherever she was known. She had a large circle of correspondents in the vigilant missionary field, which was constantly increasing, and she was receiving frequent encouraging evidences that the seed scattered was taking root.

At the time when she was stricken down she was engaged in labor with a tent company, and till her last moment her mind was full of her work. Throughout her sickness the peace of God was fully hers, and his praise continually in her mouth. Almost her last words were, “All is well.” Her parents deeply mourn the loss of their only child, and her husband and child that of a devoted Christian wife and mother.
