OBITUARY.

By R. F. C.

Our aged sister, Mary Demarest, of Clarkson, Monroe Co., N. Y., fell asleep in Jesus, Feb. 21st, 1860, in the 87th year of her age.
She was born in New Jersey, May 13, 1773, and resided also in Rockland Co., N. Y., before removing to Monroe Co. She was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church till eight years ago last Fall, when she came to the Advent faith and was baptized by Bro. Loughborough, who was then quite young. She embraced the Sabbath a year after, and continued to evince a great love for the truth. Though her body became palsied, and her intellectual faculties impaired, yet religion continued to be her delight, and the blessed hope her theme to the last. The writer preached a funeral discourse on the 25th of March. ‑Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth.‑ R. F. C.
