Obituary Notices.

“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.” Rev. 14:13.

HAMILTON.—Died of typhoid fever, at Blockville, Chautauqua Co., N. Y., Dec. 12, 1879, Bro. Thomas U. Hamilton. He was converted to God and embraced the truths of the third angel’s message under the labors of the writer, during the tent season three years ago. The elevating and sanctifying influences of present truth were markedly manifest in this dear brother’s life and character. He was a firm, consistent, faithful overcomer, earnest in seeking close communion with Jesus. He evinced much of the true spirit of Christ in his daily life, and has laid down to rest, mourned, not alone by his wife and six dear children, but by the entire community. Words of comfort at the funeral from Job. 14:14. CHAS. B. REYNOLDS.

BEEBE.—Died of old age, at Homer, Iowa, Dec. 16, 1879, Sister Susan Beebe, aged 79 years. She with her husband embraced the Advent faith under the labors of William Miller, and was among the first to receive the Sabbath. She had been a widow for many years, living with her children. She was a devoted Christian, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. May her many prayers for her children ever be remembered. A large circle of friends are left to mourn, yet not without hope. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Job. 14:14. J. S. HART.

COTTRELL.—Died in Ridgeway, N. Y., Dec. 23, 1879, my dear wife, Maryette Cottrell, aged 63 years and 9 months. She leaves four children and an adopted son. We sadly feel our loss, but hope to meet again in the everlasting kingdom. She had kept the Sabbath nearly forty years, and had cherished the hope of a soon-coming Saviour about twenty-seven years. Funeral sermon by Eld. Paddock, Methodist, from the words, “Our Father.” Matt. 6:9. JOHN H. COTTRELL.
