FLETCHER.— Mrs. Uriah Fletcher, née Holly, died at her home in Abercorn, Quebec, Oct. 13, 1913, aged 73 years. About ten years ago she accepted present truth, and her hope was in the Lord.

PASSEBOIS.

The deceased early gave his heart to God, and gave clear evidence of fellowship with him to the last. A large number of neighbors and friends attended the funeral services, conducted by the writer. The consolation of the gospel is ours. C. F. PARMELE.

LEWIS.— Sister J. F. Lewis was born Sept. 1, 1861, and died Sept. 12, 1913, at her home near Maretburg, Ky. The deceased accepted this message in 1904, and united with the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Blair, Nebr. Later the family moved to Kentucky, where she lived the truth in her home, being isolated from others of like faith. Her one desire was to see the work finished. She is survived by a companion and several brothers. B. W. BROWN.

FROHMADER.— Died at Paw Paw, Mich., Oct. 28, 1913, Henry Frohmader, aged 65 years and 18 days. The deceased was born at Rome, Wis., Oct. 10, 1848. He enlisted in Company H, Thirty-fifth Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers of the Union army, from which he was honorably discharged June 2, 1865. Four years later he was married to Miss Catherine Miller. To this union were born two sons, and a daughter, the wife of Elder M. N. Campbell. Brother Frohmader accepted present truth in 1884, under the labors of Elder N. M. Jordan, and for a number of years was elder of the Elroy (Wis.) church. He came to Michigan in 1902, and in 1908 his companion was laid to rest. From that time he steadily declined in health. His children were all present at his death, and have the consolation of knowing that he fell asleep in the Lord. The funeral service was in charge of the writer. Text, Num. 23: 10. M. N. CAMPBELL.

CANRIGHT.— Died near Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 19, 1913, Ruby C. Canright, wife of my brother, Jasper B. Canright. She was born at Baraboo, Wis., March 16, 1850, and died at the age of sixty-three years. She had been in poor health for years, and suffered much the last year, although occasionally able to attend meetings in the Tabernacle. A few days before her death she made all arrangements for her funeral, selecting the text, the hymns, the speaker, etc. She said she was then ready to go, and peacefully fell asleep. Elder A. T. Jones, an old friend, officiated by request. Mr. Roe, another friend and a noted singer, came twenty miles to sing the hymns she had selected. Miss Pearl Waggoner, her niece, whose beautiful poems have cheered so many hearts, contributed an appropriate selection. Her husband, two daughters, four sons with their families, two brothers, and one sister were all present. The four sons acted as pall-bearers. With four automobiles we went twenty-five miles to Burlington, her old home, and there laid her to rest. She was a daughter of Elder J. H. Waggoner, so prominent in the early work in connection with Elders James White and J. N. Andrews. Elder E. J. Waggoner is her brother, and Mrs. Alta Armstrong, now a laborer in England, is her sister. Being so closely related to the work, Sister Ruby and her family have always been believers in the advent message. We hope soon to see her again at the coming of our Lord. Her husband, with his son and wife, will now engage in the canvassing work. D. M. CANRIGHT.

LOUP.— Clara Frost was born in Oswego County, New York, May 6, 1824, and died at her home on Samish Island, in Puget Sound, Wash., Oct. 13, 1913. She was united in marriage with Norry Loup, and to this union were born fifteen children, ten of whom survive. Her companion died some fifteen years ago. Sister Loup was an earnest believer in present truth, and fell asleep in the blessed hope. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from John 5: 29. J. W. BOYNTON.

LAYTON.— Died at Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 14, 1913, Sister Elvira M. Layton, aged 85 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Sister Layton was a charter member of the Tacoma Seventh-day Adventist Church, and her confidence and courage in the Saviour were strong to the last. During her long illness she was patient and trustful, often expressing her faith in Christ as a friend and Saviour. We laid her away to sleep until the Life-giver shall come to claim his own. J. M. WILLOUGHBY.

KLEIN.— Augustus Klein was born in Germany, April 5, 1835, and died at Coburg, Germany, Sept. 4, 1913. He came to the United States with his father when but a boy, and was married to Annie Corkery at Philadelphia, Pa., in 1860. In 1896, his wife having died, he was married to Ida Parthenay, of Milford, Conn. The deceased served thirty years in the army, and after retiring from active service made his home at Portsmouth, Va. There, in 1900, he heard and accepted the truths of the third angel’s message. He loved the truth till the time of his death, and was constantly trying to bring others to a right understanding of the Word of God and its precious promises. He fell asleep peacefully and quietly. His widow, five children by his first marriage and two by the second, are left to mourn. Our hope is in the soon-coming resurrection morning. IDA KLEIN.
