Obituary Notices.

DIED, of shaking chills and fever, in Gilboa, Ohio, Sept. 9, 1865, our beloved sister, Ozetta Wickham, aged 80 years, the 14th of April last.

J. P. FLEMING.

Died, at Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 22, 1865, in the 33d year of his age, my only brother, John D. Wright.

He was converted and baptized sixteen years ago, in the town of Murray, C. W., under the labors of Daniel Campbell, an Advent minister. In the fall of 1857 he embraced the Sabbath, when the church was planted in this place. It may be justly said of him that he filled the varied relations of life as a Christian should, and as a consequence was beloved by the church, and respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. We have parted, with a bright hope of meeting him at the resurrection of the just.

GEO. WRIGHT, JR. Lapeer, Mich.

Died, at Olcott, N. Y., Sept. 23d, of dysentery, after an illness of nearly five weeks, our babe, Helen Eliza Lindsay, aged four months and a half.

A little life ended, We tried hard to save; A little bud blighted, That much promise gave.

Hide our pet treasure Down out of our sight; Heart, keep thou silence, What God does is right.

Sleep on, baby darling, Till Christ comes to save; Then burst, little coffin, And ope, little grave.

C. W. & E. O. LINDSAY.

Died, in Stowe, Vt., Sept. 25, 1865, of consumption, Bro. Edwin Churchill, in the 51st year of his age. The last two or three weeks of his life he ran down rapidly under extreme suffering.

Bro. Churchill and his companion embraced the Sabbath of the Lord in 1852. From that time, Sabbath-keepers have met nearly every Sabbath for religious worship at his house.

The funeral services were attended at the Universalist house in Stowe village, where a large audience attentively listened to a discourse from Titus i, 2. After which his lifeless remains were followed by many mourners, friends and neighbors, down to the silent resting-place of the dead. A companion and four children mourn his loss.

A. S. HUTCHINS.
