Hiett

By R. E. Harter

HIETT.— Lila Victoria Hiett, born at Shanghai, W. Va., Sept. 24, 1881, died near Hyattsville, Md., April 7, 1914. At the age of eighteen she united with the Winchester (Va.) Seventh-day Adventist Church. On removing to Washington, D. C., she connected with the Memorial Church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. For a number of years she was employed in a branch of government service, where she faithfully held up the torch of truth, being ever ready to give a reason for her hope in her Redeemer. In May, 1913, she suffered a collapse while at her work, and was brought near death's door. From this there was an encouraging rally, and it was hoped that her life might be spared, but a decline followed. She bore her suffering patiently, and, although desiring to live, committed herself to God for the doing of his will, and expressed her firm hope of coming forth from the grave to immortality at the call of her Saviour. Father, mother, a brother, and two sisters survive her. The funeral service was held at the Memorial Church. R. E. Harter.
