In Albion, Wis., Nov. 3d, 1880, of spinal affection, H. M. Sheldon, in the 60th year of his age. Bro. Sheldon was a native of Western New York, but emigrated to Albion in the year 1855, locating on the farm where he died. Soon after coming to Albion he embraced religion, was baptized by Eld. T. E. Babcock, and united with the Albion Seventh-day Baptist Church, of which he continued an accepted member until his death. His last illness, of near nine months duration, was, for the most part, very severe, attended, at times, with excruciating pain. But he bore all with Christian fortitude and patience, believing that all things work together for good to them that love the Lord. His last exhortation to his family was to 'live and die for God.' He leaves a wife, one son, and three daughters (one of the latter an invalid for nearly two years), to mourn his absence. S. H. B.
