KETCHUM.—Died in San Francisco, October 11, 1886, of typhoid malarial fever, Robert M., son of George and Julia Ketchum, aged 23 years, 10 months, 11 days. Brother Ketchum had been a believer in present truth about five years. His life gave evidence that he loved the Lord. During his last illness, prayers were offered in his behalf, and the Lord relieved him for a time; but it seemed not to be his will that he should recover. Four days before he died, he confessed his sins, and felt reconciled to the will of God. He died in the blessed hope of the first resurrection. His parents, two sisters, and one brother mourn his loss. Funeral services took place at Healdsburg, October 13. Remarks were made by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:54, 55 to a sympathizing audience.
