Obituary Notices

By Editor

OUR Obituary department this week adds quite a number to the list of prominent members who have lately fallen from our ranks. In the Review of December 3 appeared the obituary of Sister Butler, wife of Elder Geo. I. Butler. This week Elder Butler records the death of his sister, Aurora B. Lockwood, who had gone to Florida to assist in caring for his afflicted companion. The death of N. N. Lunt is also noted, an old pioneer in the cause, and that of Elder J. F. Hansen, a prominent laborer in the Danish-Norwegian branch of the work. But these persons have all gone down in bright hope. The language of Elder Butler expresses the comfort and consolation the surviving friends of these precious souls have to sustain them, in view of the rewards of the future, which are near and hastening greatly, and are sure in that day to all those who “love His appearing.” “Blessed hope!”
