Obituary Notices.

By J. W. Raymond

FELL asleep in Jesus, in Urbanna, Steuben Co., N. Y., August 19th, 1864, of heart disease, after an illness of about four weeks, sister Deborah Depew, in the 76th year of her age.

Sister Depew embraced the glorious doctrine of the near coming of our dear Redeemer, in 1842. At the passing of the time, she did not, like many, make shipwreck of her faith, but held on to her confidence till God made all harmoniously plain. She embraced the third angel's message about twelve years ago. And when the little church was organized here last winter, she was present and united with the church. Since then she has only been able to attend one of our meetings; but at that she was greatly encouraged and her hope revived. And now she sweetly sleeps in Jesus. Discourse by the writer from 2 Sam. xiv, 14.
