OBITUARY.

By S. & P. S. Myers

Fell asleep at Plum River Ills., on Sabbath eve, March 25th, our beloved mother, Mary Williams, aged 68 years, after a painful illness of five days, which she bore with christian fortitude and resignation. Few persons have better exemplified the christian character, or done more good, and less harm; and few have spent a larger portion of their lives in trying to benefit others. Few have more fully realized that it was more blessed to give than to receive. She commenced to keep the Lord's Sabbath in the spring of 1854, and seemed to delight in the truths connected with the present message. At the Sabbath meeting held at our house March 19th, she spoke with much feeling, and humble confidence in a crucified and risen Saviour. We think we have a well grounded hope that she will have a part in the first resurrection.
