Obituaries

POLLARD.— Died at Wenas, Wash., of membranous croup, Lawrence, son of J. N. and May Pollard, March 13, 1904, aged 4 years, 8 months, and 4 days. The tender memory of this child's love for Bible stories, and his questions about the soon coming of Jesus, strengthen the faith and brighten the hope of the parents. J. G. SMITH.

OGDEN.— Died at the home of her daughter, in Arcadia, Mich., May 15, 1904, Sister Lorinda M. Ogden, in her seventieth year. Sister Ogden is the last but one of the charter members of the Seventh-day Adventist church of Ithaca, Mich. The bright hope centered in the morning of the resurrection sustained her in all her trials, and grew brighter until the end. She is survived by four children, three daughters and one son. The funeral services were conducted by Elder Wm. Ostrander at the Seventh-day Adventist church of Ithaca, Mich. H. A. FENNER.

MILLS.— Died near Prairieton, Ind., Sept. 21, 1903, of typhoid and pneumonia, Omer Leroy Mills, aged 14 years, 1 month, and 2 days. Leroy bore his sickness with great patience, and in a conversation with his grandmother the day before his death he expressed his desire for a home in heaven. We mourn not as those who have no hope. Words of comfort were spoken by Brother Steel. ROWENA J. MILLS.

BROWN.— Died at his home in North Kingston, R. I., April 6, 1904, my beloved husband, John G. Brown, in his eighty-first year. His trust was in Jesus, and he loved and longed for his appearing. His health had been failing for two years. On the evening of April 6, after spending a while in prayer, as had been his custom for many years, he retired, and soon fell asleep to awake no more until the last loud trump. MRS. S. P. BROWN.

BUNT.— Died at La Grange, Ohio, June 12, 1904, of tuberculosis, Brother G. W. Bunt, aged 39 years, 5 months, and 25 days. Brother Bunt became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1897, having previously belonged to the M. E. Church. He was a humble man, and possessed an affectionate, generous nature. For two years he served his church as deacon. His cheerful testimony will be missed by all who were associated with him in church capacity. A wife, a father, a mother, and a brother are left to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted by the writer; text, Job 19:21. CHAS. A. MERRIAM.

COGSWELL.— Died at his old home near Tuscola, Mich., May 3, 1904, our father, Joseph C. Cogswell, in his eighty-fifth year. He was born in New Hampshire, Feb. 29, 1820, and came here in 1856. At the age of eleven he was converted and baptized, and later accepted present truth during the preaching of Elders Van Horn and Canright at this place. From that time he continued to be of those who “keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” His peaceful death came as a welcome relief to him. He leaves one daughter and two sons to mourn their loss. Comforting words were spoken by Elder William Ostrander, from Job 14:14. F. W. COGSWELL.

HORNER.— Died at Spencer, Iowa, June 8, 1904, Mrs. Mary D. Horner, aged 80 years and 12 days. The deceased was born at Amboy, Oswego County, N. Y., where she lived the greater part of her life. In 1852 she was married to John Horner, and in 1884 they came to Iowa. Mrs. Horner lived for a time with her daughter, Mrs. A. Hilliard, spending four years in Mitchell, S. D., and six at Battle Creek, Mich., and Toledo, Ohio, returning to Iowa in 1901. Although a cripple most of her life, she belonged to the sturdy class of pioneers that have builded the nation. Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by the Methodist pastor and Brother A. D. Westcott. E. G. OLSEN.

MALLORNEY.— Died at Sanitarium, Cal., June 9, 1904, Pearl D. Mallorney, née Breed, aged 21 years, 7 months, and 8 days. She went to Battle Creek, Mich., when sixteen years of age, and connected with the work of the Sanitarium Food Company. Two years later she was united in marriage to Verner J. Mallorney. Together they came to the Pacific Coast, locating first at Los Angeles, but later coming to Sanitarium. Her health gradually failed during the last year, but her condition was not considered serious by herself and husband until about one month before her death, when she was placed under the immediate care of the sanitarium physicians. The cause of death was tubercular peritonitis. She seemed perfectly resigned to the will of God, and died with an unusually bright hope. Her last words were those of prayer. Interment took place at St. Helena, Cal. C. L. TAYLOR.
