Brother Elliott accepted the truth in the early days of the third angel’s message in Indiana. Of the eight children born to him, two with their mother, yet survive.

Oakes.—Died in Spokane, Wash., Nov. 29, 1903, of heart trouble, Mrs. Olive B. Oakes. She was born Oct. 2, 1831, at Munson, Me. At an early age she was converted and united with the M. E. Church. Shortly after this she accepted present truth. With her family, she moved from Maine to California in 1870, and ten years later to northeastern Washington. She leaves, to mourn their loss, three sons and one daughter, fourteen grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. Words of comfort were spoken from Ps. 116:15. WILLARD H. SAXBY.

Landis.—Died at the home of his parents in Alverton, Pa., Jan. 6, 1904, of tuberculosis, William F. Landis, in his twenty-ninth year. Brother Landis accepted the message of present truth about five years ago, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Pittsburg, Pa., of which he remained a faithful, consistent member until his death. His earnest love for the truth, and his desire to impart to others the same blessings he himself had received, led him to enter the field as a canvassing evangelist, in which he proved a valuable and efficient worker. He leaves a wife and two children, besides both his parents and several brothers, to mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted by Elder C. S. Longacre, assisted by the local Methodist and Evangelical ministers, in the Methodist church at Alverton. Beside his sister, who died several months previously of the same disease, he was laid to rest until the resurrection morning. F. E. PAINTER.
