OBITUARY.

By S. Osborn

It becomes our painful duty to announce the death of our beloved sister, Mary Ann Tomlinson, aged 27 years and 5 months, wife of Samuel Tomlinson, living near Richmond Iowa.
She embraced the third angel's message at the tent-meeting at Richmond in 1859, under the preaching of Brn. Hull and Cornell. She grew stronger and stronger in the faith as light and duty came to her mind, until her death. The last Sabbath she was with us at meeting, I was forcibly struck with her testimony. It was open and frank. Confession and acknowledgement appeared to be her object and delight.
On the 18th day of May, 1861, she breathed her last. She died of typhoid fever. She gave evidence of her zealous and her sincere devotion to the cause of Christ here, and her sanguine hopes of the first resurrection when Jesus shall come in the clouds of heaven to awake the sleeping saints of earth. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. Rev. xiv, 13. She leaves an affectionate husband and two small children to mourn her loss.
