NORMAN.—Amanda Nobles was born in Meadsville, N. Y., in 1836. Fifty-one years ago she became the wife of Richard Norman, who with four of their six children, is left to mourn the loss of a faithful companion.

MASSEY.—Mrs. Maud Massey died Dec. 27, 1914, at the home of her parents, in Clarksburg, W. Va. She suffered greatly during the last few months of her life, but was resigned to God's will, and fell asleep in the blessed hope of the third angel's message. Sister Massey accepted present truth many years ago, and was a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when called by death. Words of consolation were spoken by the writer from 2 Tim. 4:6-8. Two sons, her parents, five brothers, and one sister survive. T. W. THIRLWELL.

TUTTLE.—Ayers S. Tuttle was born in Bradford, Pa., Dec. 12, 1821. He was married to Miss Susan A. Thayer, of Oswego, N. Y., at Kalamazoo, Mich., on Oct. 13, 1849. They made their home at Oshtemo for twenty-one years, later moving to Kent County, where Mrs. Tuttle died in 1893. Soon after his marriage Brother Tuttle accepted present truth. He was a consistent Christian, and was loved by all who know him. He fell asleep in the blessed hope of a part in the first resurrection. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. W. E. STRAW.

ALDEN.—Caroline Amanda Linsenbigler was born in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, June 29, 1856, and died near Goodlettsville, Tenn., Dec. 31, 1914, after a short illness. She was the eldest of a family of six girls; and as her parents were poor, she learned lessons of hardship and self-sacrifice early in life. In 1888 she was married to Scott Alden, of Brookwayville, Pa., and to that union were born seven sons, five of whom survive her. Sister Alden embraced present truth in 1894, and seven years ago, with her husband, she came to Tennessee, where they joined their son, Charles Alden, in missionary work. The early experiences of our sister especially fitted her for pioneer life, and she zealously entered upon the work of establishing a mission school in the highlands of Tennessee. Always courageous, her example was a constant source of strength to those with whom she was associated. Sister Alden was deeply loved, and will be greatly missed by those with and for whom she labored. E. A. SUTHERLAND.
