OBITUARY.

By John Byington

Died in Hillsdale, Mich., March 4, 1863, of lung complaint, Louisa J. Samm, aged thirty-five years, five months, and twenty-four days. Sister Samm embraced the truth under the labors of Brn. Waggoner, Bates, and Cornell, some five years since, when the tent was at Hillsdale. She continued a very active, faithful member of the church in that place, till her death. She leaves a companion and several little children to mourn her loss. The church also feel that one of their best members is gone, but they expect to meet her in the morning of the resurrection, when there will be no more death.

We did not arrive in season to attend the funeral, which was on Friday. The relatives were at our meeting on the Sabbath, when we made some remarks on the love of God, and how we should manifest our love to him. 1 John iv, 19.
