Obituary Notices.

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

Atkin.—Died at South Mound, Kan., Nov. 1, 1884, the infant daughter of John and Mary Atkin. They sorrow not as those who have no hope; for they expect to clasp their darling again when the Life-giver comes. Remarks by the writer from Rev. 20:6. L. D. Santee.

Dunbar.—Died in Brooklyn Village, O., my mother, P. M. Dunbar, wife of R. A. Dunbar, aged 66 years and 7 months. She was a member of the M. E. church forty-five years, and of the Adventist church ten years. She said at the last that the Lord was with her. As there was no Adventist minister here, Rev. Mr. Gould (Methodist) preached the funeral sermon. O. M. Dunbar.

Morrison.—Died of typhoid fever, in South Boston, Mass., Oct. 8, 1884, Tina, daughter of Sr. C. Morrison, aged 15 years and 10 months. She sleeps in Mount Hope cemetery to await the Life-giver’s voice. Words of comfort by the writer. On the morning of Tina’s death a telegram was received bringing the sad news that another daughter in Utah had died a few hours before. Thus Sr. Morrison’s bereavement is a peculiarly sad one. But she has learned to say, “He doeth all things well.” A. T. Robinson.

Butler.—Died near Mendon, Mich., Nov. 4, 1884, the infant son of Amos and Libbie Butler, aged 6 months and 7 days. They deeply mourn the loss of their little one, but not as those that have no hope. This is the second one of their children that they have laid away. The funeral was at the Osgood school-house, and was well attended by sympathizing friends and neighbors. I. A. Olmstead.

Crumb.—Died of heart disease Nov. 16, 1884, at the home of Bro. C. H. Barrows, Port Allegany, McKean Co., Pa., Bro. Henry C. Crumb, in the 79th year of his age. Bro. Crumb retired at night usually well, and was found dead in his bed in the morning. Discourse by the writer from Ps. 8:4. D. A. Ball.

Huitt.—Died, Oct. 16, 1884, our infant daughter, aged 3 months and 11 days. Little Clara had been a sufferer from her birth; but now her spirit has gone to God who gave it, and her body lies in the grave, awaiting the return of the Life-giver. We mourn not as those who have no hope, knowing that if faithful we shall meet our darling in the everlasting kingdom of God. In the absence of any of our ministers, words of comfort were spoken by the Rev. George Merriam (Baptist). W. J. and O. J. Huitt.

Rumery.—Died of paralysis, at Monterey, Allegan Co., Mich., Aug. 22, 1884, Sylsbre Rumery, aged 64 years. The deceased was converted when twenty years of age, and joined the M. E. church. In 1857, under the labors of Eld. Joseph Bates, he embraced the views of Seventh-day Adventists, and united with the church at Monterey, of which he was a member for a number of years. He made no profession of religion at the time of his death, yet he cherished a love for the truths held by this people. Mr. Rumery was a public-spirited man, a kind father, and ready to help relieve the wants of the needy. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss. The funeral was held at the S. D. A. house of worship Aug. 24. Discourse by the writer, assisted by the pastor of the M. E. church, from Num. 22:10. H. M. Kenyon.

Thorp.—Died of typhoid fever and congestion of the brain, at Concordia, Kan., Sept. 27, 1884, our little daughter, Jessie Pearl, aged 3 years, 11 months and 29 days. We deeply feel the loss of our only child, but we sorrow not as those who have no hope; for we expect to meet our loved one where unions will never be broken. Words of comfort by Bro. Chas. Flaiz, from Isa. 25:8. J. S. Thorp.
