LONG.—Died of a complication of diseases, Ada May Long, daughter of Brother and Sister Long, aged 5 days. Her little life was short, but full of suffering. JENNIE VORSE.
TIPTON.—Died at Kettle Falls, Wash., Dec. 2, 1904, Benjamin Tipton, aged 83 years, 10 months, and 27 days. Brother Tipton was born in Ohio, where he spent his early life, who afterward moving to Washington with his family. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13. E. M. GWIN.
SPRAGGINS.—Died at Hutchins, Tex., Nov. 8, 1904, of stomach trouble, my dear son, Scott Spraggins, in his seventeenth year. He loved the Adventist people, and I hope we shall meet him in the resurrection morning. He gave evidence of a change of heart. Scott is sadly missed in the home circle by a father, mother, four sisters, and two brothers. At the grave Brother Sommerville spoke words of comfort to those present. ROSIE SPRAGGINS.
SLOCUM.—My husband died near Holly, Colo., Aug. 28, 1904, of typhoid fever. He had been a user of tobacco, but during his last illness expressed his desire to be free from the habit, and warned his little boy against its use. He tried to make his peace with God, and expressed his intention to live a different life. His last words to me were, “I will meet you again.” He leaves two brothers, two sisters, a wife, and four small children to mourn his untimely death. Words of comfort were spoken from Job 14:14, by a Methodist minister. ALICE M. (ADAMS) SLOCUM.
STONE.—Died in San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 29, 1904, of consumption, Mrs. Fannie Ellen Stone, aged 23 years, 9 months, 1 day. The place of interment was at Astoria, Ore., the birthplace and late home of Sister Stone. Her decline in health extended over a period of somewhat more than two years. Last May she went to California, hoping that a change of climate might be beneficial. As earthly prospects faded, her hope in the life beyond grew brighter. She leaves a husband, father, mother, one sister, and three brothers to mourn their loss. They have the blessed assurance that she sleeps in Jesus. G. W. REABER.
REMINGTON.—Died at Cadillac, Mich., Oct. 20, 1904, Sister Remington, wife of Brother J. M. Remington. Brother and Sister Remington were among those who early in life accepted the third angel’s message, and might properly be spoken of as pioneers in the cause. When they accepted the message, they lived in Van Buren County, Mich., but later moved to Wexford County, near Cadillac. For the last few years, Sister Remington was a great sufferer, but was always patient. At the time of her death she was living with her daughter in the city of Cadillac. The end came suddenly, but she was not unprepared. Hers was an exceedingly bright hope. Her husband sorrows, but not without hope; for he expects to join her in the resurrection morning. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. W. R. MATTHEWS.
WAKEHAM.—Died at our home near Leavitt, Neb., Sept. 26, 1904, our dear father, Wm. Wakeham, aged 86 years and 6 months. Father was born at Habeton, Devonshire Co., England, but spent the greater part of his life in this country. He was converted in early life, and united with the Baptist Church, of which he was a stanch member until nearly thirty years ago, when the truths of the third angel’s message were presented to him through the labors of Elders J. Bartlett and E. W. Farnsworth. He did not hesitate to accept the unpopular truths, and until memory failed, rejoiced in the hope of a soon-coming Saviour. The last three years of his life he was almost helpless, during which time it was our privilege to care for him. We deeply feel our loss, and besides us there are left to mourn, our oldest sister, Mrs. Seabury, of Sedro Woolley, Wash.; Mrs. L. R. Conradi, of Hamburg, Germany; and Elder W. H. Wakeham, of Cairo, Egypt. We all find comfort in the thought that our aged parent is now safe from all the storms of life, soon to come forth to meet the Saviour he loved so sincerely. MAY WAKEHAM, JOHN T. WAKEHAM.
