Obituary Notices.

DIED, in Tompkins, Mich., March 20, 1864, of inflammation of the lungs, sister Eliza M. Weed, wife of Bro. Calvin Weed, aged 58 years, 3 months, and 6 days.

Her disease was such that she was unable to lie down without being suffocated. Her suffering were intense, but she bore them patiently, leaning upon the arm of the Lord for strength. She, with her companion, embraced the present truth about ten years ago. She lived to see the most of her family living in obedience to the commandments of God; and now that she is taken away by the hand of death, they deeply feel her loss. But they mourn not as those without hope; for if faithful, in a little while they will meet her again in the home of the saints. A few remarks were made on the funeral occasion by the writer, to a large company of sympathizing friends, from 1 Thess. iv, 13, 14.

Died, in Warren, Vt., of canker rash, March 24, 1864, Alice Cardell, daughter of John and Sarah Cardell, aged about two and a half years.

S. PIERCE.

DIED, Feb. 29, 1864, with disease of the heart, Bro. Moses Aldrich aged 42 years.

Bro. Aldrich was led to embrace the third angel's message through the labors of Bro. Robert F. Andrews in this place, in the autumn of 1862, since which time he has been a bright and shining light in the church.

On the 2d of March we listened to an appropriate discourse delivered by Eld. Isaac Sanborn from 1 Cor. xv, 22, 23, after which we laid him away in the grave to wait for his part in the first resurrection.

Yours in hope of eternal life. WM. A. DAINS.

Elkhorn Grove, Ills.
