At Bloomfield, Clinton Co., Iowa, Oct. 5th, 1872, of typhoid fever, Leven Hurley, aged 48 years, 3 months, and 22 days. Bro. Hurley was indeed 'a brother beloved' in the church at Welton. He experienced religion in early life, in Logan county, Ohio, embraced the Sabbath, and identified himself with the Sabbath-keepers of that place; moved to Iowa some eighteen years since, and when the Seventh-day Baptist church was organized at Welton, he became one of its members, and by a Christian life gained to himself the confidence and respect of all that knew him, and died 'happy in the Lord.' He will be much missed by the community who have lost a good citizen, by the church who have lost a wise counselor and an active member, liberal in its support, and especially by his large and reciprocally devoted family.
