Obituary Notices.

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

STROUPE.—Died of inflammation of the lungs, at Spencer Mills, Kent Co., Mich., May 4, 1880, Edgar Stroupe, aged 32 years and 7 months. He leaves a wife and an adopted child, who deeply mourn their loss.

KELLOGG.—Died in Evergreen, Montcalm Co., Mich., May 6, 1880, Sidney M., son of M. S. Kellogg (deceased) and E. S. Kellogg, aged 18 years, 11 months, and 10 days. When quite young he gave his heart to the Lord, but for a time he wandered from him. In the early part of his sickness he returned with heartfelt confessions, and received the evidence of his acceptance. His dying testimony was, “Oh, how good the Lord has been to me to grant the forgiveness of all my sins.” We mourn not as others who have no hope. Words of comfort from 1 Pet. 1:3. L. A. KELLOGG.

DENNIS.—Martha Vernalis, wife of the writer, died at Henry, Marshall Co., Ill., May 8, 1880. She was born May 1, 1854, thus being 26 years and 8 days old at the time of her death. She embraced present truth shortly after our marriage, which occurred July 3, 1877. A short time before her death she testified that she did not commence to keep the Sabbath because I kept it, but because she believed it to be the duty of all Christians everywhere to keep it. She left a babe ten days old. We hope to meet her in the resurrection morning. Funeral sermon by H. David, M. E. pastor, from the words: “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.” A. J. DENNIS.
