Death of B. B. Brigham
By H. Flower
It is with sorrow that I announce the death of Bro. B. B. Brigham, of North Plains, Mich., who fell asleep Jan. 2d, aged 57 years. His disease was appoplexy. He has left a wife and five children to mourn his loss; but they sorrow not as those who have no hope. His loss is much felt here by believers in present truth, as they are few and scattered. We hope to meet him again in the resurrection of the just. Bro. Brigham was formerly a preacher in the Calvinist Baptist denomination. He afterwards preached the first and second angels' messages; and for about three year's past has been a firm believer in the third angel's message; and was ever found bold to defend the truth which lay so near his heart; and it may well be said of him that he has fought a good fight, and has kept the faith, and will doubtless receive a crown of righteousness at the day of Christ's appearing. Ronald, Mich., Jan. 18th, 1855.
