Deaths of Pioneer Missionaries
OUR hearts have been made sad the past week by the announcement of the death of two of our pioneer missionaries: Mrs. E. D. Robinson, who, with her husband, the late Elder D. A. Robinson, went out to India in 1895, died at South Lancaster, Mass., November 12. Sister Robinson had been living in South Lancaster since the death of her husband, devoting the last days of her life to interesting others in the field she loved so much, and her death is a real loss to the missionary cause. Brother Wunderlich, one of the second party going out to our new mission in German East Africa, after completing several buildings at the mission station, was compelled to leave on account of sickness. He died October 31, at Friedensau, Germany, just two weeks after reaching home. Although he had spent less than two years in Africa, his work continues, and is a blessing to those in the field. This is our first loss in the new mission in German East Africa.
