GAREY.—Died at Portland, Oregon, Feb. 12, 1882, Augustus Garey, aged 37 years and 13 days. His death was caused by an accident which happened to him Jan. 10, while at work on the North Pacific R. R., in northern Idaho. A limb from a falling tree struck him on the back of the head with such force as to paralyze his entire right side and the lower part of the left.

It was his request that he be removed to his father's home in Woodland. The journey was undertaken and upon arriving in Portland, he was seemingly better. Here, while waiting for the steamer, in company with his brother, in spite of every attention employed by physicians and nurses, the sufferer passed away. His body was brought to Woodland, and the funeral took place from the family residence, Sunday the 19th, at 2 P. M. A large number of friends and neighbors extended their sympathy to the mourners by attending the funeral. Bro. Garey embraced the views of Seventh-day Adventists in 1873. He was faithful to the cause he loved. We have reason to believe that he rests in hope. Remarks were made at the funeral by the writer, from John 11 :25, 26.
