RICKARD.

GENESY.—Died at Sacramento, Cal., May 17, 1904, of heart failure and congestion of the lungs, Sister Ora E. Genesy, aged 23 years and 4 days. For some time she had had an impression that she would not live long, and so stated to her husband, to whom she had been married but one month. She expressed a bright hope in Christ, and her loved ones expect to meet her again. Services were held at Sanitarium, Thursday, May 21, and interment was made upon the grounds of the home at the same place. C. L. TAYLOR.

MITCHELL.—Died at Long Beach, Cal., May 28, 1904, George A. Mitchell, in his fifth year. While holding the halter of a mule for his father, little George was caught in a twist of the rope, and the mule becoming frightened, ran, dragging him over a large iron water-pipe, crushing his head and breaking his neck. A large company was present at the funeral. The text was the words of David, “But now he is dead. . . . I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” CLARENCE SANTEE.

HUTCHINS.—Died at Salem, Ore., May 23, 1904, of a complication of diseases, Brother John C. Hutchins, aged 58 years and 28 days. He was born in London, England. He accepted present truth about seventeen years ago, and was for several years the elder of the church at Morley, Mich. He leaves a wife, two sons, and one daughter to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope. His faith in the Saviour, and hope in the life beyond the tomb, seemed to brighten with the fading of earthly light. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, in the Haysville Baptist church. G. W. REASER.

HARMON.—Frederick V. Harmon died at St. Helena, Cal., May 8, 1904, of cancer of the stomach and liver, in his sixty-fifth year. Brother Harmon and his wife accepted present truth under the labors of the writer, and were baptized by him at Fairfax, Cal., in the fall of 1876, uniting with the Healdsburg church. Brother Harmon ever delighted to use his means for the advancement of the third angel’s message. Although his bodily sufferings, since last October, were great, he bore it all without a murmur. Realizing that he must pass away, he calmly met the end, and sleeps in Jesus. He leaves a wife, one son, two sisters, and three brothers. His funeral service was conducted by the writer, in Santa Rosa, Cal., May 10. J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH.

HOOVER.—Died at his home near Independence, Mo., May 22, 1904, Brother Henry Hoover, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. At an early age Brother Hoover gave his heart to God, and united with the Christian Church, remaining an active member of that denomination for a number of years. Under the labors of Elder Geo. I. Butler he united with the Seventh-day Adventists more than twenty-five years ago. Much of his time and means were spent in the proclamation of present truth. A faithful, devoted wife and nine children are left to mourn their loss. All the children were present at the time of his death, except Elder H. L. Hoover, who is laboring in New Mexico. Words of comfort and consolation were spoken by the writer, in the Baptist church, to a large congregation of sympathizing friends and neighbors. J. W. NORWOOD.

The Death of Elder J. M. Huguley

HUGULEY.—Died at Keene, Tex., April 8, 1904, of a complication of diseases, Elder J. M. Huguley, in the fifty-eighth year of his age. Brother Huguley was one of the stanch friends of the cause in this State. He accepted present truth under the labors of Elder R. M. Kilgore in the year 1878, in the early history of the message in Texas, when its adherents were few. He gave it hearty support, financially and otherwise, and it soon became evident that his happiness was wrapped up in the success of this work, and he devoted his energies to the upbuilding of the same. Being a farmer at the time, his labors were for some time confined to his home church—of which he was elder—and home community, but later his efforts were extended into other sections in a more public way. He received license to preach in 1884, and was ordained to the ministry in 1892; and the number of persons in the truth in this conference as the result of his labors, attests that his work was “not in vain.” Besides being an efficient laborer in the ministry, his official services were of value to the conference, he being for a number of years a member of the conference committee. As a fellow laborer with him in tent and other meetings, and a long associate in the field, I can certify to his uniform kindness, good cheer, and unwavering faith. Brother Huguley had been in poor health for a long time, which prevented him from engaging actively in the work in the field, though he assisted in a tent-meeting at Waco preceding the camp-meeting last year, and was planning for work again this year. He died suddenly, but in conversations with him a short time before, he gave evidence of his faith and hope in God. Thus has fallen another laborer from our ranks. Let us who remain press the battle the harder. A wife and six children are left to mourn, but not as those who have no hope. In the presence of a large number of relatives and acquaintances he was laid to rest in the cemetery near his old home, not far from Plano, Tex., April 9, with appropriate words by Elder D. U. Hale. W. A. McCUTCHEN.
