Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

DIED, in Battle Creek, Jan. 11, 1872, sister Louisa Nesbitt, aged thirty-three years. Sister Nesbitt came to the Health Institute about three months before her death, and though the physicians could give her no hope of her recovery, it was the wish of herself, and of her friends, that she should remain, as she could there be better cared for than in a family. She had been a great sufferer for nearly fifteen months, and had a desire to come to the Institute, but unfortunately delayed till she was entirely beyond all hope of recovery. She was perfectly resigned to the will of the Lord, and by her amiable disposition, her patient, submissive spirit, and Christian conversation, she won the sympathy and affection of all who attended or visited her. By the blessing of God, in answer to prayer, her last days were comparatively free from pain.

Funeral services were held at the Adventist house of worship. Scripture, 2 Cor. 4. Her remains were taken to Erie Co., Pa., for burial.
