Elizabeth Olmstead’s Death

By J. L. Edgar

Fell asleep in Jesus in the town of Orange, Ionia Co., Aug. 24, 1860, sister Elizabeth Olmstead, wife of Benjamin Olmstead, aged seventy-six years. Sister O. left an aged companion and a number of children to mourn her loss. But they mourn not as those who have no hope. She sleeps in Jesus, blessed sleep! Sister Olmstead had long been a church member, and had quite recently embraced the Sabbath of the Lord, and has given good evidence of her attachment to the truth. On first-day, Aug. 26, the writer spoke to a large and attentive congregation, from Job xiv, 14, "If a man die, shall he live again?"
