Fannie Thomson
FANNIE, daughter of Hugh L. and Margaret A. Thomson, died at her father's
residence in Oqueuka, Henderson Co., Ill., Oct. 5th, 1868, aged 19 years, 10
months, and 18 days. The deceased was an acceptable member of the United
Presbyterian Church, and a sincere Christian. She was loved and esteemed by
all who knew her. How pure, how innocent, how blameless was her life! Her
example is worthy of imitation to all. She has left a bereaved father and
mother, brothers and sisters, and a large circle of friends, to mourn her
early departure; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. For if we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him.

Reuben Benson
REUBEN BENSON died Oct. 2d, 1868, aged 72 years, 10 months, and 11 days.
Father Benson was raised a Quaker. When about thirty-two years of age, at a
Methodist camp meeting, he gave his heart to God, found peace, and then
united with the Methodist Protestant Church, of which he was a consistent
member for about thirty-eight years. About two years ago, he removed from
Baltimore, Md., to Littlestown, Pa., and not finding any of Methodist
Protestant Christians there he united with the Church of the United Brethren
in Christ; and we doubt whether any church ever had a more faithful,
consistent member than Father Benson. He served God in life, and died in
great peace, at the residence of his son, leaving his wife and children to
follow him to the skies.

and children meet her there.

Hester Kilbourn
HESTER KILBOURN died Aug. 28th, 1868, aged 56 years, 11 months, and 14 days.
Sister Kilbourn, in her last year, was much afflicted, enduring much
distress of body, but was enabled, through that Savior which she confessed
many years ago at Brown's Run Chapel, Montgomery County, Ohio, to bear it
all with, great Christian patience. May that same Savior be the support of
her bereft companion, and the joy of her mourning children.

her friends that she would soon be in heaven.

unknown.

bright intelligence in the world above.
