HUGHES.—Died at Pierson, Fla., May 13, 1903, Brother I. C. Hughes, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He was conscious until the last, and expressed entire confidence in the truths of the third angel’s message. He was a member of the Barberville church. There being no minister of our faith available at the time of his death, the funeral sermon was not preached until June 28, when the writer spoke words of comfort to a well-filled house of sympathizing relatives and friends. Text, Mark 11:22. N. W. ALLEE.

CONE.—Died at Houston, Tex., June 21, 1903, Sister M. A. Cone, of heart-disease. Sister Cone had seen fifty years of the changing experiences of this life, several of which had been spent in searching for that which can satisfy the soul longing for a sure foundation. When the truths of the message came to her, she readily grasped them, and greatly rejoiced therein, doing what she could to spread a knowledge of them. She experienced victory in death, leaving every evidence that she sleeps in Jesus. L. W. FELTER.

EDGCOMB.—Fell asleep in Jesus at her home in Kalamazoo, Mich., June 16, 1903, Sister Francis Edgcomb, aged 44 years, 9 months, and 20 days. She was a faithful and devout Christian, and much loved and respected by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, three children, one sister, one brother, and other relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by the writer. R. C. HORTON.

SATTERLEE.—Died at her home in Verona Mills, N. Y., June 8, 1903, in the seventy-third year of her age, Electa Satterlee. Two years ago last March, Sister Satterlee sustained a severe fracture of the hip, since which time she has been a great sufferer. About three weeks before her death she was taken sick with la grippe, which was followed with pneumonia, from which, on account of a naturally weak heart, she was unable to rally. She sank peacefully to sleep, fully resigned to rest until the coming of the Life-giver. In 1858 she united with the Seventh-day Baptist church at Southampton, Ill., remaining a member of that denomination until about 1877, when she accepted the third angel’s message, uniting with the church at Rome, N. Y., and remaining a faithful member of this church until the time of her death. She leaves a husband and one sister, besides other relatives and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. Funeral services were held from the Seventh-day Baptist church at that place, conducted by L. D. Burdick, the pastor. MRS. J. M. KOLB.
