RICHARDSON.—Died in Altoona, Wis., April 24, 1908, of cancer of the stomach, Mrs. Sabra Bowers Richardson, aged 76 years, 8 months, and 18 days. Sister Richardson was converted at the age of twelve, and in 1888 the knowledge of God's true Sabbath was brought to her, which she gladly accepted. Although much of the time she was separated from those of like faith, yet her faith in the third angel's message never wavered. She was an earnest, consistent Christian to the end. Her godly example was felt by all with whom she came in contact. Many times during the last few weeks of her life she repeated the first verse of the fifty-seventh and one hundred third psalms. A few days before she passed away, her only son, Frank W. Richardson, who had come from Nebraska to visit his dying mother, was himself suddenly claimed by death. They now rest side by side in Forest Hill Cemetery, at Eau Claire, Wis. Five daughters remain to mourn the loss of a loving Christian mother. Elder Byron Post, of Chippewa Falls, Wis., conducted the funeral services, using as his text Heb. 9: 27, 28. MRS. EMMA O'MARA.
