ISAAC SANBORN

By Isaac Sanborn

Died in Avon, Rock Co., Wis., March 26, Bro. J. M. Davis, aged 24 years, 8 months, and 26 days.

He leaves a wife and one child to mourn his loss. The church also feel that one of their best members is gone. It has been about two years since he embraced the truth. He was patient, and bore his sufferings without a murmur. The writer attended the funeral, and spoke to a large assembly from the following words: "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." 2 Cor. i, 4.

"Dear brother, thou unconscious art, While mourners weep around. Thou waitest in thy grave to hear, The trumpet's joyful sound."
