OBITUARY.

DIED at her residence in Troy, Walworth Co., Wisconsin, Dec. 30th, 1854, Sister Chatfield, aged 24 years, the daughter of Worcester and Polly Holcomb. She embraced the first angel's message in Oswego Co., in 1842. She removed with her parents to Wisconsin in 1846, where she lived a consistent Christian until 1850, when Bro. Rhodes visited Wis. She then received the third angel's message; and from that time to her death she lived consistent with her faith. She died full in the faith of soon seeing the King in his beauty. She has left a companion and two children to mourn the loss of an affectionate wife and tender mother; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. The funeral discourse was preached by a Baptist minister from Matt. v, 8. "Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God." W. PHELPS.
