EGBERT.—Died at Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 13, 1902, Wm. Egbert, aged 80 years, 3 months, and 9 days. His death resulted from an accident; the team he was driving ran away, and he was thrown from the wagon and severely hurt.

Burial took place in Oak Hill Cemetery. I. D. VAN HORN.

Funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder S. A. Farnsworth. H. E. RICKARD.

WELLER.—Died at Battle Creek, Mich., Oct. 8, 1902, of cancer, Jennie M. Weller, at the age of 42 years, 4 months, and 23 days. At times her sufferings were almost unbearable, but she manifested great patience, being sustained by her firm trust in the Lord. For about fifteen years she has been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She leaves a daughter and a son to mourn, but with hope of soon meeting her again at the second coming of Christ, when he shall raise the righteous dead. I. D. VAN HORN.

MILLICAN.—Died at her home, near McKinney, Tex., Sept. 23, 1902, Elizabeth Millican, aged 54 years, 10 months, and 15 days. She was a devout Christian, and in 1884 she and her family accepted the third angel's message. She leaves an aged and feeble husband, 8 children, and 15 grandchildren, but we mourn not as those who have no hope. Funeral services were held by Elder E. E. King (Baptist) at the Stiff Chapel Cemetery, the place of interment. F. M. MILLICAN.

FOREMAN.—Fell asleep in Jesus, near Watseka, Ill., Oct. 1, 1902, Sister Emily Foreman, aged 68 years, 8 months, and 22 days. Sister Foreman was born at Stonewood, near Dartford, Kent Co., England. She was married to Brother George Foreman in 1855, and to them were born seven sons and three daughters, all of whom were in attendance at the funeral services, save one daughter, Sister Sturdevant, who is one of our missionaries in South Africa. Six of the sons acted as pallbearers, while the youngest one supported the aged father. Brother and Sister Foreman united with the Seventh-day Adventist church at Northville (now called Sheridan), in 1871, being charter members of the same. She was a consistent Christian, a true, loving companion, a devoted mother. The funeral services were held at Northville, in the Methodist meeting house, a large congregation being present. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. S. H. LANE.
