Ziegler.—Died at the home of her parents, four miles east of Good Thunder, Minn., Olga Helen Ziegler, Sept. 11, 1908. She was born June 4, 1877, a few miles from where she died. At the age of sixteen she was converted, and joined the Good Thunder church. Several years ago she took up work at the Hinsdale Sanitarium, near Chicago, and since that time she has been an untiring worker, both for her friends and for others. The parable of the good Samaritan, and the incident of the raising of Dorcas, were dwelt upon in the remarks, as there was a certain parallel between these cases. A large circle of friends met to pay their last respects to this noble Christian character. A great many were unable to find standing room in the church. Her last words were, “Thy will be done.” As I think of this life which has gone out, my heart is filled with a greater desire to live and to work for others. The disease, typhoid fever, was contracted in Mankato while nursing during the recent epidemic. Her parents have the sympathy of their friends, and the assurance that their daughter will appear in the first resurrection. S. E. JACKSON.
