While attending Union College in 1907, she was led to give her heart to Christ, and lived a faithful Christian life, being a member of the College View church when she died. The writer conducted a brief funeral service in Minneapolis on May 5, and, with the friends and relatives, accompanied the body to Enfield, Sabbath morning, May 6, where another funeral service was conducted in the Baptist church in the afternoon of the same day. A large congregation assembled to show their respect and to express sympathy with the afflicted family. We laid her to rest in Clear Lake Cemetery, with the precious hope that she will hear the call of the archangel when the trump of God shall awake the sleeping saints, and call them forth to meet their Lord at his soon coming. At both services the writer presented the Christian's hope as seen in the resurrection of Christ and of his people from the dead. R. A. UNDERWOOD.
