BROWN.—Died at Traverse City, Mich., Gustavus Brown. Brother Brown was born in Oswego Co., N. Y., and moved to Michigan, where he accepted present truth. He fell asleep awaiting the voice of the Life-giver. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. C. A. HANSEN.
CLARK.—Died at Hector, Minn., Jan. 11, 1908, George Calvin Clark, aged 74 years, 1 month, and 28 days. He became acquainted with the message forty years ago, and accepted it. His last membership was with the Anoka Seventh-day Adventist church. He died with the blessed hope of being among those who will be raised at Christ's second coming. He leaves a wife, two sons, and one daughter to mourn their loss. It was his request to be buried at Retreat, Wis., the home of his boyhood days. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. A. W. KUEHL.
LEACH.—Died at Springdale, Ark., Jan. 26, 1908, Emily Caroline Leach, née Mead, aged 75 years. Sister Leach was early a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Monterey, Mich. She was married three times—to Josiah Parker, to Merritt Wisner, and to Dr. M. L. Leach. She came from Traverse City, Mich., to Springdale in the early summer of 1907, intending, with her husband, to make that place her future home, but the Lord, in his wisdom, has ordered otherwise. She left one son, Josiah F. Parker, one daughter, Mrs. Carrie Boylan, and a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. M. L. LEACH.
GRANTHAM.—Died at the home of her children, Elder Wm. Covert and wife, of Sheridan, Ill., Feb. 5, 1908, of pneumonia, Elizabeth Grantham, née Harris, aged 81 years, 4 months, and 20 days. She accepted present truth thirty-nine years ago. During the last months of her life her Christian experience was unusually bright; and although her closing days were extreme in physical pain, she bore it with patience. One son, two daughters, ten grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren are still living. We laid her to rest in the Sheridan Cemetery to await the resurrection of the just. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from 1 Cor. 15:22, 23. J. C. HARRIS.
