OBITUARY.

By H. Miller

My mother in-law, Rebecca West, fell asleep in Jesus, April 6th, 1858, after an illness of five months. Her sufferings were great, but she endured them with the greatest patience. She had been keeping the Lord's Sabbath for one year, and had a strong hope of being rewarded at the resurrection of the just. She leaves a husband and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope.

Also, Mary Marledge, who had been living with us for six years, fell asleep Aug. 19th, 1858, aged, nearly fifteen years. Her disease was billious fever, and of short duration. She had many trials to undergo while keeping the Sabbath of the Lord; but she rejoiced on her death bed, that she had kept it, and entreated her relatives to keep it also; telling them if they would read the Bible, they would there learn that the seventh day was the Sabbath. We have hope that she will be rewarded with the just.
