At Wasioja, Dodge Co., Minn., May 14th, 1860, of bilious pneumonia, Benjamin F. Bond, Esq., aged 48 years. His sufferings were severe, which he patiently endured, with great fortitude of mind. He trusted in God, believing in the immortality of the soul, and the efficacy of Christ's saving power. He left a good evidence of his acceptance with God, and with much composure resigned his will to the will of his heavenly Father. He was a cheerful and affectionate husband, a kind father, and a firm pillar in the church. His relatives and friends have much cause to mourn their loss. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of people, at the First day Baptist Church in the village of Wasioja. Discourse by Eld. Shepherd, from Eccl. xii. 7. His remains were conveyed to the village cemetery, and deposited there. N. M.

In Milton, W. T., January 28, of consumption, Adelia M., wife of Benjamin F. Bond, eldest daughter of Eld. Stillman Coon, aged 19 years. The subject of this notice experienced religion in early life, and became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist connection, of which she remained a worthy member till death. Though long confined, and at times her distress was great, she bore it with Christian patience, conversed freely of her departure, and she was willing to die, and after resigning all into the hands of Jesus, died in the triumph of the Christian faith.

At Dodge Center, Minn., March 19, 1883, of pleuro pneumonia, after a short illness, Mrs. Henry David, aged 53 years, 1 month, and 14 days. The subject of this notice was the daughter of Oliver and Rebecca Perry, born Feb. 5, 1830, in Allegany county, N. Y. The writer first became acquainted with her as the wife of B. F. Bond, of Milton, Wis., having moved there from the east in 1855. In 1856, a small band started to find new homes yet further west. B. F. Bond was of that number. Mr. Bond and his wife were earnest Christian workers, doing all they could for the cause of God and humanity. Though there were but few of us, we forgot not God, or the return of his weekly Sabbath, and soon, as it was then called, the Wasioja and Ashland Church was organized of twelve members. Mr. Bond's work was soon done, and a faithful brother was gone. Mrs. Bond, with her two little children, returned to friends in Milton, where she married again, and in a few short weeks was again a widow. After several years, she was married to Mr. David, with whom and her children, she returned to her old Minnesota home, where she was received with hearty welcome. Possessed of a cheerful disposition, quick thought, and great memory, ever willing to do her part in the Church, she was one of its most valued members. We shall greatly miss her. When told by her physician that she could not recover, she clearly arranged her affairs with her family, giving minute directions for her funeral and burial, sending kind words to distant friends, giving good advice and good bye to all around her, knowing them all until her breath, which came hard, went out. The day of her death was the birthday of her oldest child. The funeral sermon was preached by our pastor, Eld. H. B. Lewis, from the text (Rev. 14: 18), 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.'
