OBITUARY.

By James White

FELL asleep in Jesus, at Monroe, Wis., sister Esther, wife of Bro. John Lindsey, Nov. 12 1860, aged 42 years. Her disease was consumption.

Sister Lindsey embraced the Advent faith in 1842, near Melbourne, C. E., where she received the Sabbath in 1850, when Bro. Bates first visited that place. Since that time she has been a firm and devoted believer in the third angel's message, as all will testify who have known her for the last ten years. Her sickness was protracted, which she bore with patience and true Christian fortitude. She fell sweetly asleep in Jesus in bright hope of a part in the first resurrection. She leaves her husband and daughter to mourn her loss.

Bro. Allen providentially arrived in the place at the hour appointed for the funeral, and gave an appropriate discourse from Job xiv, 14. JAMES WHITE.

Monroe, Wis., Nov. 16, 1860.

Fell asleep, Sept. 21, 1860, sister Curtis, wife of M. E. Curtis, of Easton, Ionia Co., Mich. She came to her death very suddenly by an accident. While on the way to Ionia the horse took fright at some hogs that suddenly came in sight from among some hazelnut bushes. Both the reins broke and left the horse beyond Mr. Curtis' control. She was thrown violently out of the buggy, and lived but one hour after the accident. On the following first-day a large number congregated themselves together to her funeral which was attended by Eld. A. Cornell (Baptist), of Ionia. As near as we can learn she was happy in Jesus up to her death. E. M. DAVIS.
