Obituary Notices.

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

PIKE.—Died near Seward, Neb., Feb. 27, 1880, Leonard A., son of Eli and Edna E. Pike, aged 8 years, 6 months, and 13 days. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Jer. 31:16, 17. M. HACKWORTH.

FLICK.—Died suddenly, of apoplexy, in Bonaparte, Iowa, Nov. 16, 1879, Bro. Isaac Flick, aged 56 years. Bro. F. was formerly a member of the Christian church; but he embraced present truth under the labors of Eld. McCoy in 1878, since which time he has been a consistent and faithful S. D. Adventist, and a zealous worker in the T. and M. work. Funeral services in the Baptist church. Discourse by Eld. Livermore (Baptist), from the words, “Be ye also ready.” H. DETWILER.

ASHBAUGH.—Born July 30, 1795; died Feb. 3, 1880, at New London, Iowa, Martha Ashbaugh. This aged sister embraced the truth over twenty years ago. A passing emigrant picked up a REVIEW near her house, and left it, supposing it belonged there. She became interested, sent for books, and began to keep the Sabbath. During nearly all of this time, she lived away from any of like faith. She spent several years in Montana, keeping house for her son. A year or two ago she came to New London, and occasionally met with the Mt. Pleasant church. She was baptized last spring by Eld. Washburn, and joined the church. For one of her age, her understanding and memory were remarkable. She was a person of more than ordinary ability. She loved the truth; and her Bible and the REVIEW were most highly prized. Dr. Busby (Methodist) preached the funeral discourse. GEO. I. BUTLER.
