DIED in Williamsburg, N. Y. Jan. 10, 1864, of diphtheria, Leon Oxa, son of M. B. Czechowski aged five months.
J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.
DIED in Wright, Ottawa county, Mich., Jan. 19, 1864, Cynthia, only daughter of Bro. and Sr. E. H. Root, aged about five years. She was suddenly seized with the diphtheria, and died in about one week.
It is very consoling to the bereaved and sorrowing parents to remember how obedient their little daughter had been, and the deep interest she manifested to be in her class in the Sabbath-school, and how she loved to talk about heavenly things, and how she would love to go and be with the angels of God. Funeral service was held in the meeting-house on Thursday, Jan. 22.
FELL asleep, Jan. 23, 1864, of congestion of the liver, in Bunker Hill, Mich., Eld. Manning Curry, aged 48 years, 9 months and 7 days.
By his request before his death, I was sent for to attend his funeral. We attended the services in a large school-house, crowded with attentive hearers, on first-day, in the afternoon; and spoke from the question: "If a man die, shall he live again?" Job xiv, 14.
Bro. Van Horn was here and assisted in the services.
Bro. Curry commenced anew to keep the Sabbath one year ago last July. He gave up his "Age to come" entirely, which had blinded his mind to the importance of present truth. He made every effort to get his heart right after he saw the truth plainly. He regretted his loss of time, in which he might have done much good had he seen the light clearly, when he first embraced the Sabbath, some years ago. But he died in peace and hope. He leaves a companion who loves the truth, and four children, to mourn his loss.
