DIED November 17, 1863, in Manchester, Ill., at my residence, my mother-in-law, Nancy Bowers, in the seventy-first year of her age, after a severe illness of six weeks. Mother Bowers early embraced religion, and lived a consistent Christian life, greatly esteemed and beloved by all her friends and acquaintances. She embraced the third angel's message in June, 1861, under the preaching of Brn. Sanborn and Loughborough. She loved the commandments of God; and the Sabbath was to her a great delight. She lived out her faith with great propriety and firmness, and died in the faith of having part in the first resurrection. She is one of the happy number on whom the blessing is pronounced: They rest from their labors, &c. May her godly precepts and examples long be cherished and remembered by all her acquaintances; and may we who mourn her loss, so live by the grace of God assisting us, that we may be ready to meet her when Jesus comes to make up his jewels, and take his ransomed people home.

DIED, in Dartmouth, Mass., October 17, 1863, our little son, aged one year, five months, and twenty-six days, after a most painful illness of nearly three weeks. We deeply feel our loss. He was a very interesting and lovely child. "Parents saw with grief unspoken, Only in tears, Their sweet bud of promise broken— Youngest in years." H. & S. G. RUSSELL.
