Obituary Notice.

By Uriah Smith

DIED, in San Francisco, California, Jan. 7, 1864, of inflammation of the lungs, Cyrus A. Lyon, youngest son of Bro. and sister Henry Lyon of this place, aged nearly 24 years. His sickness was a long one of thirty-four days. Fortunately for him, Bro. M. G. Kellogg, also from this place, is residing in San-Francisco, with whom he spent the last twenty-seven days of his life, and from whom and family he received every care and attention. Bro. Kellogg writes that Cyrus had fully determined if restored to health, to serve God and keep all his commandments; that he intelligently gave himself to the Lord, received the assurance of his pardoning love, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. We are thankful that Bro. and Sr. Lyon, those aged pilgrims who have so long stood in the love of the truth, and his brothers and sisters, are not without this consolation in their bereavement.
