Obituary Notices.

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

FELL asleep, in Woodburn, Ill., Oct. 16, Bro. Alfred Wood, aged thirty years, five months, and sixteen days. Bro. Wood was converted, and embraced the Lord’s Sabbath four years ago, under the labors of Eld. H. C. Blanchard, since which time his life has been such as to gain the confidence of all who knew him. During his long and very severe sickness he never complained, but bore the most excruciating pain with patience, evincing his willingness that the will of the Lord should be done. His remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of mourning relatives and neighbors. He leaves behind an affectionate wife, and little daughter, a father, mother, and brother, who mourn, but not without hope.

Remarks by Eld. Jones, Baptist, and Eld. Compton, Methodist. Wm. PENNIMAN.

DEPARTED this life, Sept. 17, 1872, after nine days’ sickness of bilious fever with typhoid form, my dear companion, Mary E. Flower, aged sixty-eight years, eleven months, and eight days. She died in the full hope of the gospel. She embraced the Advent doctrine in the winter of 1844, and commenced to keep the Sabbath some twenty years ago, and lived a humble, devoted life to the time of her death. We have reason to believe she sleeps in Jesus, and will come forth at the resurrection of the just.

H. FLOWER.
