Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

DIED, at his fathers residence, in the city of Nauvoo, on the 25th of September, Hyrum, son of Hyrum and Jerusha Smith, of the billious [bilious] fever; aged 7 years lacking a few days.

Relying upon the promises of Jehovah, the parents need not mourn over the early death of their promising child. Omnipotence, in His wisdom, has seen fit to take him from them just ere he arrived at the years of accountability; and the parents have the blessed assurence [assurance] that he has been taken from the evils to come, to bask in endless felicity and heavenly beattitude [beatitude], in the mansions of his heavenly Father.

-In this place, on Friday the 22nd of October inst., Mrs. Adaline, consort of Simeon A. Dunn, aged 29 years.
