OBITUARY.

DIED in the town of Dover, Olmstead Co. Minn., Sabbath morning, Jan. 24th, 1863, of diptheria, John, youngest son of Bro. Wm. and Sister Merry, aged three years and nineteen days. He was a bright, affectionate child, and suffered much during a sickness of sixteen days. He has gone to the land of the enemy; but we hope to meet him again when the promise is fulfilled that, "thy children shall come again from the land of the enemy." At the funeral I tried to speak a few words of comfort from Jer. xxxi, 16-17. H. E. LASHIER.
DIED at Alfred, Allegany Co., N. Y., Jan. 26, 1863, of Diptheria, Edwin L., son of Bro. Asa Green, in the 13th year of his age. He had his senses until the very last. He selected the text and the speaker for the funeral. The text was Jer. xxxi, 16. He was willing to die, and no doubt sleeps in Jesus. "How long shall death, the tyrant, reign, And triumph o'er the just?" N. FULLER.
DIED Jan. 10, 1863, Laura Annette Borer, aged 2 years and 6 months. Also, on the same day, Maria Estelle Borer, aged 6 months. These were the only children of sister Laura Borer of Cleveland, Minn. Their death was caused by a severe type of measles. They were interred in one coffin; but are soon we believe to be awakened by the "voice of the archangel," to meet the shining host that will escort the saints to Mount Zion. JNO. BOSTWICK.
Died of lung fever, in Convis, Mich., Jan. 25th, Ellen Dougherty, aged nearly sixty-one years.
The family became much interested in Bro. Frisbie's recent lectures in that place, and among the last requests of the deceased were that her husband and children should keep the Sabbath, and that an Advent minister should preach her funeral discourse. We spoke on the occasion to a crowded congregation, from 1 Thess. iv, 13-18.—Ed.
Died of sore mouth, Ida Estella Walworth, Oct. 1, 1862, aged three months and twelve days, only daughter of Margarett and Erastus Walworth, Hillsdale, Mich.
