Died, of spotted fever, Jan. 8, 1865, at Ithaca, Gratiot Co., Mich., after an illness of two days, Sr. Mary A. Allen, aged 34 years. She leaves a husband and two children, and a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Sr. Allen, from her youth, has professed faith in her Lord, and when the tent was in this place last summer, she and her husband readily accepted the truth, and commenced keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. She lived long enough to unite in fellowship with the church, but not to meet with them afterward. She rests in hope. Remarks on the occasion, by the writer, from 1 Thess. iv, 18,14.
