OBITUARY.

By F. M. Bragg

My dear mother, Mrs. Mary Burritt, died (in Kansas) Jan. 8, 1861, aged seventy years, seven months, and 23 days. She embraced the Advent faith in 1844, and received light upon the commandments in 1852. From that time she kept the holy Sabbath.
At the time of mother's sickness and death we were far separated. We have not enjoyed her society for nearly three years; but in this deep affliction and great bereavement, we sorrow not without the cheering hope that she sleeps that "blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep." We believe she will come forth from the tomb in the morning of the resurrection clothed in immortal beauty, "to die no more."
