Obituary Notices.

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

RIDGWAY.—Died, near Mapleton, Minn., Jan. 12, 1880, Johnnie, son of Bro. and Sr. Ridgeway, aged 5 years. The parents are comforted by the thought that their dear one “shall come again from the land of the enemy.” Remarks by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:13. M. H. GREGORY.

MARION.—Died of consumption, in Poygan, Wis., Jan. 6, 1880, our dear sister, Emma Jane Marion, aged 21 years and 6 months. Thus we lay our friends away to rest till the Lifegiver shall come, remembering that a blessing is pronounced upon the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Funeral services conducted by P. H. Cady. DAVID PUTNAM.

CROUCH.—Died in Ceresco, Mich., Jan. 21, 1880, of consumption, Mary Crouch, aged 69 years, 1 month, and 8 days. Sister Crouch made a profession of religion in the former part of her life, and for some eighteen years past she had been connected with the S. D. Adventists. She gave substantial evidence of a sincere love for the cause she had espoused. At the funeral an address was given from Heb. 9:27. M. B. MILLER.

VAUGHAN.—Died of erysipelas, Jan. 13, 1880, at Jasper, N. Y., Eliza C., daughter of Caleb and Polly Vaughan, aged 52 years, 5 months, and 19 days. She commenced the observance of the Sabbath last summer, under the labors of Eld. Raymond, and we believe she has fallen asleep in Jesus. She leaves aged parents, a brother and sisters, to mourn her loss. Remarks were made on the occasion of the funeral by Eld. Moore, from the words, “What is your life?” James 4:14. *

WARD.—Died of inflammation of the bowels, in West Albany, Iowa, Nov. 8, 1879, our son, Willie H. Ward, aged 12 years, 7 months, and 18 days. Willie was an industrious and obedient boy, and is greatly missed in the family circle. During the past summer he was very strict in his observance of the Sabbath, several times remarking, after having attended Sunday-school, “Mother, I am glad we keep the Sabbath.” We have the blessed hope that if we are faithful we shall meet our loved one in the resurrection morn. Funeral discourse from Rev. 13:14, by Elder Bunton, Freewill Baptist. C. S. AND C. A. WARD.

RAMPTON.—Died of membranous croup, in Bronson, Mich., Dec. 31, 1879, Flora May, daughter of W. H. and Mary Rampton, aged 1 year and 10 days. Much care and sympathy was shown by the community during the sickness and funeral services. Address from the words, “Jesus wept.” We are comforted by the thought that,

“It died to sin, it died to cares, But for a moment felt the rod; O mourner, such the Lord declares, Such are the children of our God.” M. B. MILLER.
