GAINES.—Burt C. Gaines was born in Barkhamsted, Conn., Nov. 29, 1834, and died in Battle Creek, Mich., June 17, 1916. His first wife was Martha H. Pratt, who died in 1866, and in 1873 he was married to Angeline E. Waggoner, who, with their three children, survives. Brother Gaines was a veteran of the Civil War.

Roberts, in Indiana, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to which she remained faithful until her death. Aug. 12, 1913, she was united in marriage with Fred Turner, who with their babe of two years is left to mourn. Her parents and two brothers also survive. G. E. LANGDON.

BOWEN.—Lewis Kirby Bowen was born in East Otto, N. Y., Oct. 14, 1858, and died in Randolph, N. Y., June 15, 1916. His death is mourned by a wife and five children, his aged father, and five brothers. In early life Brother Bowen united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Ellicottville, N. Y., but later lost his hold on God, and for some time made no profession of religion. However, during his long illness he made his peace with God, and fell asleep hoping in a soon-coming Saviour. R. F. COTTRELL.
