DUNLAP.—Died at her home in Davenport, Iowa, Sister Jessie Dunlap. Death resulted from a serious operation, from which she was unable to rally. For many years Sister Dunlap has been a faithful member of the church at Davenport, and she died with a bright hope of having a part in the first resurrection. A husband, one son, and two daughters are left to mourn. The funeral was largely attended. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:49. L. D. SANTEE.

WINFIELD.—Died near Gentry, Ark., July 17, 1910, Sister Ellen Winfield, in the fifty-first year of her age. She lived a consistent Christian life; and in the fall of 1905, as the result of a meeting held in Logan, Ark., she accepted present truth, and was baptized. Death was due to paralysis. We laid her to rest in Fairmount Cemetery to await the coming of the Life-giver. The funeral service was conducted by the writer, assisted by C. N. Eastman. JOHN RAFFERTY.

CANFIELD.—Frank E. Canfield was born in Ward, N. Y., Aug. 31, 1861, and died at his home in Friendship, N. Y., June 18, 1910. At the age of seventeen he came to hope in the pardoning mercy of Christ, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church. A few years ago he came to a knowledge of the third angel’s message, but like many another isolated convert, had no opportunity of joining the Seventh-day Adventist Church. His life was perfected in the virtues of patience and unselfish devotion to others. He leaves a wife, four children, a brother, five sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his death. MARTHA N. CANFIELD.

ALTHER.—Cora Alice, wife of Solomon Alther, was born Jan. 20, 1865, and died near Quicksburg, Va., July 16, 1910, aged 45 years, 5 months, and 26 days. Sister Alther was in poor health for a number of months, but recently she suffered a stroke of paralysis, which was the immediate cause of her death. She was a member of the New Market church. During her affliction she expressed a desire to get well for the sake of her children, but felt resigned to the will of our Heavenly Father. The funeral service was held in the Methodist Episcopal church in Quicksburg, and was conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder A. C. Neff. R. D. HOTTEL.

HITCHCOCK.—Delinda Jane Mills, daughter of Stephen and Elizabeth Mills, was born at Camillus, N. Y., Oct. 3, 1852. For about thirteen years she lived at Wolcott, N. Y. In 1845 she came with her parents to Michigan; and on April 16, 1850, in Conway, she was married to Rufus Hitchcock. They established their home at Locke, Ingham County, and three children were born to them. In 1852 or 1853 she accepted present truth, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her husband came into the truth one year later. At the beginning of the Civil War he enlisted, went to the front, was taken prisoner, and died in prison. She died at the home of her brother, Dr. W. J. Mills, of Howell, Mich., and in the Lakeside Cemetery she is sweetly sleeping in Jesus, awaiting the summons of the Life-giver. Discourse from 1 Cor. 15:51, 52. L. G. MOORE.
