Obituary Notices.

DIED on Block Island, Atlantic Ocean, Feb. 10, 1864, Lucretia D., wife of Abram R. Mott, in the fifty-third year of her age. Sister Mott was one of the first Sabbath-keepers on this Island. She was a faithful Christian companion and mother, and was universally beloved. The Sabbath before she died her testimony was truly cheering. That she sleeps in Jesus no one has a shadow of doubt.

Also their son, Nathaniel Mott, aged 26 years, died Feb. 14, 1864. His disease was consumption. He leaves a companion to mourn with many other friends. He had always been considered exemplary in life, but had not met with a satisfactory change until during his last sickness. He said he had but one desire to live, and that was to witness to all, what the Lord had done for him.

At each of these funerals we spoke to a large concourse of people concerning the nature of man and the Christian's hope. An unusual interest was manifested in the subject of the Bible hope. M. E. CORNELL.

DIED of diptheria, near Marion, Linn Co., Iowa, Feb. 7th, Merrit C. Ross, son of Bro. and sister Ross, aged three years, eight months and twenty-nine days. The writer spoke to an attentive congregation on the means devised by which we may attain to a better resurrection. WM. H. BRINKERHOFF.
