Obituary Notices.

DiED, July 24th 1865, of croup-diphtheria, accompanied with typhoid fever, our youngest son, Hiram, aged 5 years, 3 months, and 17 days. For five days and nights we anxiously watched every symptom, and administered to every want, saying in our hearts, Thy will O God be done. At last death closed the eyes of the little sufferer.

An appropriate discourse was preached by Bro. S. B. Whitney from Jer. xxxi, 15-19. And we laid him in the dark grave, loving and desiring more than ever the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and the resurrection of the just.

C. O. & M. W. TAYLOR.

DiED, in Jackson, Mich., July 27, 1865, of effusion of the lungs, Bro. J. Whitmore, aged 72 years, 1 month and 23 days, after an illness of eight days.

Bro. Whitmore was one of the first that embraced the truth in Michigan under the labors of Bro. Bates, and has always stood firm in the truth and been an honor to the cause he professed to love, and a blessing to the church. And while his seat is vacant in the house of prayer, we feel that our loss is his gain. Bro. W. died with a well-grounded hope and left the assurance that he will come forth and live again in the kingdom of God at the resurrection of the just.

A. PALMER.
