Deaths in Wright, Michigan
By Moses Hull
SISTER P. M. McPherson of Wright, Mich., sleeps in Jesus. She died Feb. 21, leaving a husband and two daughters to mourn her loss. The church also greatly feel the loss; but they hope to meet her in the kingdom. At the time of her burial the meeting-house was filled with those who were anxious to hear a discourse on the occasion; but there being no minister in reach, the funeral was postponed until March 8, when a large congregation convened to hear a discourse from the writer, on Hosea xiii, 14. The audience seemed to sympathize deeply with the mourning friends. May we all prepare to meet those who sleep in Jesus, when the trumpet sounds, and the dead are raised incorruptible. Also, died in the same place, March 7th, Julia, daughter of Bro. and Sr. Brady. The writer gave a discourse on the occasion from 2 Sam. xiv, 14. "Nature will mourn for dying friends,
And shake at death's alarms."
May the Lord prepare us for that country where "Pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself shall die."
