DIED of diptheria, in the town of Assyria, Barry Co., Mich., Elizabeth Brown, daughter of Benjamin and Ann Randall, and wife of George Brown, Feb. 19, 1864, aged 31 years.

Sister Brown embraced the present truth under the labors of Bro. Loughborough in that place. She fully believed in her soon-coming Saviour, and though living where there was no church near, or privilege of meeting, she faithfully kept the Lord's Sabbath while almost all around her were disregarding it. Her sickness was only five days, and very severe; but her mind was clear to the last hour. The funeral was the Sunday following at the school-house near by, where to a large assembly we endeavored to show that as Jesus had arisen from the dead, his dear saints would soon arise and live forever with him.
