LEMMER.— Whitney Russell Lemmer was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 14, 1899, and died in Takoma Park, D. C., July 21, 1916, aged 16 years, 10 months, and 7 days. Whitney was a good boy, an obedient son, and a loving brother. He was faithful in his work in the Review and Herald Office, where he had been employed but a few weeks, and had, by his genial, sunny disposition and his kindly manners, endeared himself to all his associates. Funeral services were conducted in the Takoma Park Seventh-day Adventist church, by Elders A. G. Daniells, F. M. Wilcox, R. T. Dowsett, Dr. D. H. Kress, and the writer. We laid him to rest in Rock Creek Cemetery to await the coming of the Life-giver, who we believe will call him forth in the first resurrection. He leaves a widowed mother, four sisters, and two brothers, to mourn their loss. I. A. FORD.
