OBITUARY.

By Wm. H. Brinkerhoof

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Rousseau, Marion Co., Iowa, Oct. 13, 1861, sister Jane Kent, aged 22 years, 8 months, and 6 days.
Sister Kent embraced the third angel's message a few months since, and rejoiced in the light of present truth. She died triumphing in the hope of the gospel, realizing that Jesus will soon come to wake her to immortality. She leaves a husband and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. She was respected by all who knew her. She was truly a living example of the manner in which a christian should live. The writer spoke upon the occasion from John xi, 25, to a large congregation. While we spoke of what Jesus had done, many who seldom weep were seen to shed tears.
“Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep! From which none ever wake to weep.”
WM. H. BRINKERHOOF.
