Mary Hawkins, in the 27th year of her age. -In this place, Aug. 22nd, Nancy R. Thompson, aged 40 years, and 5 months. -In this place, on the 18th Inst John F. Thomson, aged 11 years and 4 days. -In this place, Aug. 10th Leut. Col. Seymour Brunson, aged 40 years, 10 months and 23 days. Col. Brunson, was one among the first elders; he has always been a lively stone in the building of God: he was much respected by his friends and acquaintances; he died in the triumphs of faith, and in his dying moments he bore testimony to the gospel he had embraced by which "life and immortality was bro't to light." -On Crooked Creek, near Fountaingreen of Nervous Fever on the 18th Inst Sister Anna P. Johnson, Consort of elder Joel H. Johnson, aged 40 years, one month, and four days.-Sister Johnson embraced the gospel in May 1831 at Amherst Ohio, and has ever manifested an unshaken confidence in the same, both by word and deed. She was a kind and attentive companion, and a tender and offectionnate [affectionate] mother. She died rejoicing in the hope of a glorious resurrection among the just. -In this place, Aug. 29th Widow Sarah Beeman, aged 65 years, 2 months and 12 days. Sister Beaman embraced the gospel in N. Y. near where the work commenced, and was in affluent circumstances, surrounded with this worlds goods, but she has always manifested a zeal for righteousness which is worthy of imitation; and always willing to suffer for the sake of the gospel. She lived respected, and died lamented. -In this place, on the 2nd day of August last, Tabitha Talle, consort of Lewis Talle, aged 35 years. -On the 17 of July in Lee county Iawa [Iowa] Territory Sarah Emma Woodruff aged 2 years and 3 days. Thus the iron hand of death, There was no bell for to toll, Laid heavy on, and stopped the breath, But many a briny tear did fall- Of one who lived but to beguile, With anxious looks our hearts did tell, Our lonely moments, with a smile. Little Sarah, dear, farewell! Beloved she lived, beloved she died, Ye, little Sarah, lovely one, Her fathers joy and mothers pride- Sleep on, sleep on, till Christ shall come- Beloved by all who did her see, Then thou wilt rise, shake off they dust, Yea, and more beloved by me. And be numbered with the just. For deligate [delegate] to Congress from Iowa, AUGUSTUS C. DODGE. For Council from Lee county, EDWARD JOHNSON.
