Cora Ella Stowell’s Death
By S. Myers
Died, in Stockton, Jo. Da. Co., Ills., on the 26th of Feb., 1860, Cora Ella, only child of Bro. L. O., and sister M. M. Stowell, aged 6 months and 13 days. Although Bro. and sister Stowell grieve deeply, and feel that they have lost a precious treasure, we trust their grief is not like those who have no hope; for they trust that the enemy's power will soon be broken. At the funeral the writer addressed an attentive congregation on the subject of the resurrection, showing from the Scriptures that the hope of a future life depended upon the resurrection from the dead; that the resurrection would take place at the coming of Christ; that the coming of Christ was near at hand, and that the soon coming of Christ is a great consolation to the believer in the hour of grief and bereavement.
