OBITUARY.

By H. S. Lay

FELL asleep in Allegan, Mich., on the 8th of Oct., sister Elizabeth Cray, in the 54th year of her age. She embraced the first angel's message in the State of N. Y., and eight or ten years since, the third message in the same State, where she resided until some five years since, when she removed to this place. Her trials and afflictions have been many, but she has borne them with Christian fortitude. She has been a constant reader of the Review from its commencement, and has manifested a deep interest in the cause of present truth.

For several days before her death she was bereft of her reason; but for some time previous to that she seemed to be making thorough work, and striving to get right in the sight of God and to set her house in order. She leaves a large circle of friends to mourn her loss, and one son, who is endeavoring to live out all the present truth. He misses her much, but looks forward a little from this to the time when the Life-giver shall come to give her immortality with all of God's saints. H. S. LAY.

Allegan, Mich., Oct. 13th, 1859.
