Obituary Notes-

REV. MARION HAZEN, pastor of Parker's Grove, died in 1868 or '69 soon after the meeting of the Linn Association. He was converted at an early age in Indiana and began preaching before he was twenty years old. In the spring of 1867 he settled in Shellsburg. Modest and unpretending he was yet full of the spirit of the Master, and was owned of God in the conversion of many souls. He was eminently pious, and died sweetly trusting in Jesus, committing his companion and little ones to the covenant-keeping God. His memory is fragrant with the perfume of good deeds and a Christ-like spirit. He has a son now in the ministry.
