PHELPS.—F. W. Phelps was born May 11, 1856, and died in Guthrie, Okla., July 3, 1911. He was married to Anna Butterfield, Nov. 15, 1893. Two children were born to them, one of whom, with her mother, is left to mourn. Brother Phelps accepted the truth about twenty years ago, and was a faithful and loyal member up to the time of his death. We believe he died in faith, and that he will have part in the resurrection of the saints. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. David Voth.

WILLS.—Richard Wills was born in Cornwall, England, July 5, 1815, and died at the home of his daughter near Flint, Mich., June 24, 1911, lacking a trifle over four years of being one hundred years old. He moved to Ontario in 1842, and in 1846 was married to Sarah Ann Johnston, to which union twelve children were born, ten of whom survive their father. Brother Wills accepted the third angel's message about twenty years ago, and became a member of the Fentonville Seventh-day Adventist church. The children, with other relatives and a large circle of friends, are left to mourn. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. E. K. Slade.

CLARK.—Died at Trego, Wis., May 30, 1911, Mrs. Laura Clark, aged 59 years, 5 months, and 8 days. She had been blind about nine years. She became convinced through personal experience that the seventh day is the Sabbath, and began to observe it. About seven years ago a family of Seventh-day Adventists heard of her, visited and read to her, and she and her only daughter accepted present truth, and lived faithful until their death, the daughter dying about two years ago. Although blind, she endeavored always to be helpful, and she was beloved by all who knew her. One sister, two brothers, and many friends are left to mourn. She was brought to Menominee, and laid in the Sherman Cemetery beside her two daughters to await the glad reunion. Mrs. Minnie Ranney.
