At Milton, Wis., July 29th, 1878, Mary, wife of Deacon Jonathan Bond, aged 77 years, 1 month, and 20 days. The deceased was a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Milton, having embraced Christianity in early life. She led a quiet and consistent Christian life. She was a faithful wife, and a devoted mother, and was beloved by a large circle of friends. She leaves a husband and ten children to journey on in the way that she has gone, nearly all of whom watched over her bedside with pains-taking care, supplying every needed attention in order to make her last days as comfortable as possible.
Three of her children reside here, five others came home about six weeks previous to her decease in order to see their mother, and be with her in her last moments, and they remained with her until she had breather her last. Such an instance of conjugal and filial devotion is rarely witnessed, and the wife and mother was simply worthy of all the attention she received. She suffered much, but we have faith to believe she is enjoying, and will infinitely more. 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.' E. M. D.
