DIED, in West Monroe, Oswego Co., N. Y. Nov. 23, 1862, of typhoid fever, sister Adelia M. Decker, wife of Bro. Hiram Decker, after a very distressing illness of ten days, aged 50 years.

Sister Decker had been for about thirty years a professor of the religion of Christ. She embraced the Sabbath and third angel's message about four years since. During that time she manifested much interest in the present truth. During her last sickness her mind was wandering much of the time; but in her lucid moments she expressed strong confidence in the hope of immortality soon to be realized. Her companion, together with seven children and her aged parents, mourn her loss, but are comforted in their sorrow that she left the evidence that she sleeps in the Lord. Rev. xiv, 13. Her funeral was attended on the 25th by a large number of sympathizing friends.
