WHITE.—Died near Mount Williams, Va., July 23, 1906, Michael White, aged sixty-eight years. For many years Brother White was a regular attendant at all the services of the Seventh-day Adventists held at Mount Williams. At the Stanleyton camp-meeting, in 1904, he was baptized, and joined the Mount Williams church. A few days before his death he left home, supposed by some to be on his way to the camp-meeting at Petersburg, but was taken sick on the way and died, and was buried before the brethren of the church had knowledge of his death, a Lutheran minister preaching the funeral. He was eccentric in some ways, but understood the truth quite thoroughly, and seemed to be a faithful brother. R. D. HOTTEL.

CLEVELAND.—Instantly killed July 20, 1906, by falling underneath a moving freight train on which he was riding, George W. Cleveland, of Wellsboro, Pa., in his fifty-ninth year. He leaves a wife and son to mourn their loss. Brother Cleveland was an earnest lover of the third angel's message. His chief object was to labor for others, presenting the truths that he loved so dearly, and distributing our papers treating on the various phases of the third angel's message. It was through Brother Cleveland's earnest and self-sacrificing efforts that the seeds of present truth were first sown in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. This work was followed by the labors of Elder J. L. Baker, and later by Elder F. Peabody and the writer. In later years he has continued personal missionary work, which has resulted in bringing other souls to the acceptance of this precious truth who will be stars in the crown of his rejoicing. Brother Charles Baum, of Williamsport, Pa., officiated at the funeral service. K. C. RUSSELL.
