WHEELER.—Died at Mesick, Mich., July 28, 1906, Herman E., son of Frank A. and Mary J. Wheeler, aged 23 years.

ISAAK.—Died at Alexandrovsk, South Russia, July 15, 1906, of brain fever, Elzona Isaak, our only child, aged 4 years and 1 day. She was born at Tyndall, S. D. Our dear little girl was a missionary and a great blessing to us in this strange land; yet we comfort ourselves with the thought that Jesus, of whom she loved to hear, will soon waken her again. She always loved to go to Sabbath-school, and greatly enjoyed the various Bible stories. Words of comfort were spoken at the grave by Elder Perk to a company of sympathizing friends. DANIEL AND EMILIE ISAAK.
