  In Welton, Clinton Co., Iowa, Dec. 22d, 1872, of typhoid fever, Elizabeth, wife of Barnard Vanhorn, in the 69th year of her age.   For many years, sister Vanhorn had endured great suffering, which she bore with patience and Christian fortitude, and for years had been waiting her Master's call.   The summons was therefore no surprise.   It was gratifying to see how faithfully the duties of her earlier life were reciprocated by a devoted husband and children, each feeling that she had been a wife and mother in the true sense of those terms.
  We all feel that a Christian has lived and died among us.   She embraced religion early in life, and united with the Sabbath-keepers in Stokes, Logan Co., Ohio; moved from there to Welton, where she united with the Sabbath-keeping church of that place, and lived a worthy and beloved sister, until she went to join the "Jerusalem which is above."     V.

  In Welton, Clinton Co., Iowa, Jan. 8th, 1874, of typhoid pneumonia, Bernard Vanhorn, in the 70th year of his age.   Bro. Vanhorn embraced religion in the winter of 1831, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Northampton, Ohio, to which place he moved from Harrison Co., W. Va., in the summer of 1829.   In 1851, he moved to Illinois, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Farmington, and from there removed to Welton, and connected himself with the Sabbath-keeping church of this place, where he remained a brother beloved, until the time of his departure, for which he was in waiting in readiness to be gathered to his fathers.   To him death was neither a surprise nor terror.     V.
