TOLTON.—Died in Spokane, Wash., April 22, 1910, Norman Tolton, only child of Henry N. and Mrs. Tolton, aged 2 years, 6 months, and 13 days. At his birth little Norman was dedicated to the Lord; and though but a child, he manifested great interest in spiritual things. E. H. HUNTLEY.
FERRIS.—Died at Everett, Wash., June 30, 1910, Sister Hannah Ellen Ferris, aged 72 years, 6 months, and 27 days. She was born in the State of New York in 1837, and was married in 1855, her husband dying in 1877. About five years ago she heard and accepted the third angel’s message.

In 1898 he came to Oregon, where he has since made his home. He held his membership in the Newburg church, where he was loved and respected by all.

He came to Michigan in 1861, where he resided until 1902, when he came to California. Brother Richard accepted the truths of the third angel’s message over thirty years ago, and died in the blessed hope of a part in the first resurrection.

On Jan. 28, 1841, she became the wife of Eli Taylor. In Sister Taylor’s life we have an example of a faithful Christian. She is survived by a daughter and three sons, and descendants to the fourth generation, who need not sorrow as those who have no hope. A. C. SHANNON.
BAGNULL.—Solomon Bagnull was born in Staffordshire, England, Aug. 14, 1838, and died July 11, 1910, at West Middlesex, Pa., aged seventy-two years.

He was born May 14, 1909, at the Takoma Park Sanitarium, and died of infantile consumption on July 9, 1910, aged 13 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days. Having been a constant sufferer from his birth, it is a consolation to us in our deep sorrow to know that our darling baby is at rest, and the promise is sure that he “shall come again from the land of the enemy.” The funeral service was conducted by Elder F. M. Wilcox, and our boy was laid to rest in Rock Creek Cemetery. FRANCES AYERS-DIEHL.
