Died, Sept. 18, 1868, in the county of Gratiot, Mich., in the 83d year of her age, our beloved aunt, Sophia Palmer. Her last sickness was dropsy, by which she suffered much, since April last. She made profession of religion at the age of 18, and united with the Congregational church with whom she walked till she came to this State in 1834. Since then she has not had the opportunity of meeting with the people of her first choice. She was never married, but was ever doing good among her friends, scattering blessings upon all in her reach. She came to live with us last February, since which she embraced the Sabbath. She died in the blessed hope of eternal life. Funeral discourse by Eld. Lawrence from the comforting words of St. Paul in 1 Thess. iv, 13-18.
