MOORE.—Died in Chester Township, Eaton County, Mich., May 19, 1903, of infirmities of old age and heart trouble, Philo Perry Moore, aged 81 years, 6 months, and 10 days. He was born in Ithaca, N. Y., Nov. 9, 1821, and moved to Michigan in 1850, and settled on the farm where he lived till his death. Most of the family accepted present truth and joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Though believing all the truth, he did not join the church. His funeral was largely attended by friends and neighbors, who showed their respect for their aged friend. He was buried in the Potterville Cemetery. I. D. VAN HORN.

BARLOW.—Joseph Warren Barlow was born in Northfield, Summit Co., Ohio, Nov. 14, 1842. He moved to Iowa, and then to Glenwood Springs, Colo., in February, 1887, where he resided until his death, which occurred May 13, 1903, at the age of 66 years and 6 months. He leaves a widow and one son, besides other relatives, to mourn their loss. He was converted in the Baptist Church thirty-three years ago, but soon after accepted the truths of the third angel's message, and died believing in them. A large number of friends gathered at his late home to pay their last respects, and listened to words of comfort spoken by the writer, based on Heb. 9: 27. L. A. SPRING.

OSBORN.—Died near Homer, Mich., May 19, 1903, of infirmities of old age, Mrs. Nancy Maria Osborn, aged 85 years, 1 month, and 8 days. Her maiden name was Cassida. Death entered her home and took away John Mills, her husband, and their two children. In 1846 she married David C. Osborn, and they made Michigan their home. Later death entered the home again and took away her second husband, but she was left in the care of kind children in her old age. She heard and believed the preaching of William Miller, and held firmly to the truth through the disappointment in 1844. About 1870 she accepted the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventists, joining the church and remaining a faithful Christian to the close of her life. She rests in hope till her Redeemer shall call her, with all his people, to the eternal kingdom. I. D. VAN HORN.

PERKINS.—Departed this life at Utica, N. Y., April 2, 1903, Sister Maria Perkins, in the seventy-seventh year of her age. She was stricken with pneumonia, and lived only about one week. She is survived by one daughter. The mother and daughter accepted the present truth some years ago from reading, and their subsequent experience has proved their loyalty to the cause which they espoused. Sister Perkins lived and died in the confident expectation of soon seeing her returning Lord in the resurrection morning. She was possessed of a cheerful, affectionate disposition, and interested herself especially in the young. After services in Utica, Sunday afternoon, April 5, the remains were accompanied to Willimantic, Conn., near her former home, where, after another service, the loved form was laid beside her companion, long since deceased, to rest until the Life-giver shall return with immortality for his sleeping saints. S. B. WHITNEY.

HAWLEY.—Died of typhoid fever, at College Place, Wash., Dec. 17, 1902, Miss Nina Hawley, in the eighteenth year of her age. She came to school with an earnest desire to fit herself to fill some place of usefulness in the cause. She won the confidence and esteem of her teachers and all who were associated with her in school work. She lost her mother in early life, but a kind father and a loving sister, by their Christian example and godly life, led her to a close walk with God daily. Soon after she entered school, she was taken sick, and everything that care and loving hands could do was done, and it was really thought that she was improving; but in her weakened condition nature could not rally to the rescue, and she peacefully and quietly fell asleep to wake in the morning of the first resurrection. The funeral was held in the college chapel, and was attended by all the students and many of the brethren and sisters in the neighborhood. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. A. J. BREED.

SCHNEPPER.—Hugo John Schnepper was drowned May 22, 1903, while bathing in a small stream near his home, being 14 years, 1 month, 28 days of age. He was born at Hillsboro, Marion Co., Kan., March 24, 1889. At the time of his death his parents were attending camp-meeting at Pendleton, Ore., and Hugo was alone with three younger children. When word reached the camp-ground that he was dead, it was indeed a shock; for but two days previous he had been on the camp-ground, and had returned home that his mother might go. Hugo gave his heart to the Lord three years ago, and had endeavored since to live a Christian life. He ever showed a missionary spirit, and was faithful in all his work. Funeral services were conducted by Elder W. W. Steward in the College chapel, College Place, Wash., Sunday afternoon, at 4:30. By request, Philemon 15 was used as a basis of the remarks. Words of comfort were also spoken in German by Elder Adam Schlotthauer. CLARA E. ROGERS.
