DIED, in Oakland, Mich., April 1st, 1865, of inflammation of the lungs, Emory Edson, infant son of Russel J., and Lucinda Lawrence, aged 10 months and 4 days.
Disappointed and cast down, the parents mourn, but not as those without hope; for they have the consoling promise that he shall come again from the land of the enemy.
Discourse by the writer from 1 Cor. xv, 26. "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."
I. D. VAN HORN.
DIED, near Waukon, Allamakee Co., Iowa, April 14, 1865, of consumption, Edward Andrews, aged 67 years, 3 months and 9 days. The writer was called to go, while at West Union, to visit the bedside of our afflicted brother, and was with him when he died.
The Christian's hope seemed bright to him, "a strong consolation, an anchor of the soul both sure and steadfast."
He often exclaimed while upon the bed of affliction, "God is love;" and when his tongue refused to speak, his countenance was expressive of "God is love."
He leaves a companion and two sons to mourn his loss.
We spoke to a very large congregation in the Advent meeting-house from 1 Thess. iv, 13.
"When the morn of glory breaking, Shall light the tomb, Beautiful will be thy waking In fadeless bloom."
ALSO of pneumonia in Illyria, Fayette Co., Iowa, March 19, 1865, Bro. George W. Rice, about 28 years of age. Some few years ago he came out on the Sabbath, but not seeing some things clearly, he became wavering. About three weeks before he died, he came out decided in the truth, gave up all his idols, and seemed a new man. He was sick only one week. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. The writer gave a funeral discourse at Lima, to a large congregation.
ALSO of dropsical consumption at the house of his brother, near Waukon, Iowa, Albert Farnsworth, aged 25 years, 7 months, and 11 days.
He died in bright hope of soon coming up from the grave to a bright immortality.
A short time before he died he was specially blessed of the Lord and was made to rejoice.
The writer spoke to a large and attentive assembly at the Advent meeting-house from Ps. cxvi, 15.
W. H. BRINKERHOFF.
