OBITUARY.

Fell asleep in Jesus on the morning of July 23, 1860, after an illness of three days, our youngest daughter, Emma Gertrude, aged 6 years, 5 months, and 5 days. Her disease was inflamation. Her sufferings were intense, but she bore them without a murmur. As we deposited her form in the silent grave, by faith we looked forward to the first resurrection when she shall come forth in the beauty of immortality. Our prayer is that we may so live and so instruct her surviving sister, that we may make a happy family in that world where death cannot despoil, and where parting will be no more.
"Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet! With holy confidence to rest, In hope of being ever blest."
