Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Died, in South Kingstown, R. I., Feb. 20, 1872, Bro. Robert K. Tefft, aged 47 years and 9 months. Bro. Tefft embraced the third angel’s message about seven years ago, soon after hearing a course of lectures from Bro. M. E. Cornell, at Rocky Brook, R. I. From that time, he was a firm believer in all the commandments and the faith of Jesus. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his loss, but not without hope. We, as a church at Curtis Corners, R. I., of which Bro. Tefft was a worthy, active member, deeply feel, and mourn, his loss.
The meeting-house on the occasion of the funeral was crowded with attentive listeners, to whom Bro. Clark L. Sweet, and Bro. Joseph A. Sullivan, spoke words of instruction and encouragement.

Died, in the town of Sweden, near Brockport, N. Y., Feb. 28, 1872, of consumption, Helen A., wife of Treat Hovey, aged 28 years, 6 months.
Although the circumstances of her life prevailed against her desire to obey God, and publicly confess Christ by conforming to his requirements while in health, yet she was enabled, during her sickness, to rely upon him as her refuge. After commending to his care her little ones, and exhorting her husband to make Jesus his friend, she willingly yielded up her life, entertaining a hope that the Lord would remember her when he gathers his people from the land of the enemy.
Very appropriate remarks were made at her funeral by Mr. Mills, Baptist, upon the faithful use of gifts, after which some touching lines were read, composed by our sister just before her death.
Died, in Republic, Ohio, Nov. 4, 1871, Mirty G., infant son of J. W. and H. Wolfe, aged 5 months and 23 days.
We have laid our darling little Mirty in the grave to rest till the Life-giver shall call him from his lowly bed.
“As the sweet flower that scents the morn, But withers in the rising day, Thus lovely was this infant’s dawn, Thus swiftly fled its life away.”
Funeral services by A. A. Hutchins from Mark 10: 13-16.
