Obituary Notices.

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

Died of quick consumption, at the home of father Morrel, near Serena, La Salle county, Ill., Aug. 3, 1878, Eld. J. E. Morin, aged 26 years. Bro. M. was a Frenchman by birth, well educated in the French language, and a man of more than ordinary ability. He embraced the Sabbath about three years ago in the State of New York, and was ordained at the camp meeting at Kankakee, Ill., two years ago this month. Before he died, he made a full confession of some errors in his religious course which had crippled his usefulness, and he died in the full faith of the third angel’s message and the soon-coming of Christ. Although he died away from home, in a foreign land, with not a relative to follow him to the grave, yet he was surrounded by kind friends and good brethren, who did everything possible for him, and mourned his decease. Discourse by the writer, from John 3:16. J. F. Ballenger.

Died of consumption, at Partello, Mich., Sept. 2, 1878, Sr. Harriet Siebolt, aged 38 years. Sr. Siebolt embraced the present truth six years ago. She was a confirmed invalid for many years; but though she scarcely ever heard a sermon upon the Advent faith, she was a consistent and earnest believer. The last act of her life was to consecrate to the English mission the sum of fifty dollars and fifty cents (receipted in last week’s REVIEW), saved up by painful labor and care. Such an offering will be blessed. On the occasion of the funeral, a discourse was delivered by Eld. J. Slogan, of Olivet, to a large audience of sympathizing friends. One more awaits the coming of the Lifegiver. D. H. Lamson.

Christena, daughter of Reuben and Susannah Worick, died of diphtheria, in Center township, Jewell county, Kansas, Sept. 27, 1878, aged 12 years, 6 months, and 2 days. She was born in Cadiz, Green county, Wis. Her sufferings were intense the most of the time for ten or eleven days. We have good reason to believe that she will have part in the first resurrection. Reuben and Susannah Worick.

Died, in Genoa, N. Y., Sept. 24, 1878, Sr. Betsey A. Lane, wife of Bro. E. S. Lane, aged 44 years. Her death was sudden, and her physician could not assign a cause for it. Sr. Lane had been a firm, consistent believer in the third angel’s message for twenty-five years. A large circle of neighbors and relatives deeply feel their loss, and while the church mourn, they live in hope of a glad meeting in the resurrection morning. Geo. D. Ballou.

Died, in Brunswick, Maine, June 30, 1878, Sr. Lettie Walker, daughter of Stephen and Joan Walker, aged 16 years and 11 months.

“Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest, No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour, That manifests the Saviour’s power”

Discourse by the writer. R. S. Weber.

Died of congestive chills, near Sigourney, Iowa, Sept. 14, 1878, Edward A. Hilton, aged 25 years. Also his wife, Charlotte Hilton, died Sept. 18, 1878, aged 19 years. Sr. H. was a daughter of our beloved brother and sister, Thomas and Almira Smith; but they sorrow not as those that have no hope. Funeral services in the Christian church. Discourse by the writer from John 11:25. J. Bartlett.

Died, near Savoy, Texas, Aug. 23 and 31, my dear sisters, Sue A. Tedrow, aged 28 years, 4 months, and 14 days, and Mattie J. Flowers, aged 18 years and 5 months, daughters of T. J. and Martha A. Flowers. We know our sisters sleep in Jesus, to await the resurrection morn. Sister Sue received present truth in the fall of 1873, under the labors of Bre. Rogers and Cook, in Lafayette county, Mo. She died of consumption. Sister Mattie was very much afflicted. She could neither walk nor talk. We mourn not as those without hope. Rockie Flowers.

Died, in Milford, N. H., Oct. 2, 1878, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Freeman S. Stowell. The deceased was born in Washington, N. H., and was for many years a member of the S. D. A. church in that place. She leaves a companion and six children, who deeply feel their loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. H. I. S.
