NELSON.— Leroy Marion Nelson was born Oct. 8, 1892; died from the effects of an accident, Oct. 27, 1900, aged 8 years, 16 days. He loved to hear his mother read the Bible. He was loved by all. Funeral services were conducted by the writer.
R. S. WHEAT. SILVER.— Died at Albany, Wis., Oct. 28, 1900, Sister Harriet Silver, aged 76 years, 7 days. In 1865 she learned and accepted present truth, and has ever been true to God and his cause. At the funeral Elder I. Sanborn called attention to God's comforting promises.
SILAS LEWIS. BUTLER.— Died at Palatka, Fla., Oct. 14, 1900, David B., son of Sister Butler, aged 5 years, 8 months, 16 days. He was a bright boy, and his greatest pleasure was to go to Sabbath-school and learn of Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from 1 Thess. 4:14 and Jer. 31:15-17.
HENRY IRVING. BRADEN.— Died Sept. 28, 1900, at Leroy, Mich., Sister Rachel Braden, aged 64 years, 11 months. She was faithful in home duties, and loved by all who knew her. Her religious life began when about fourteen years old. During the period following, she has been connected by membership with four different churches, in all of which she was a faithful member and worker, and maintained a high spiritual standing. She leaves a husband, seven sons, a brother, and three sisters, to mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by the Congregational minister, who kindly opened his house of worship for the occasion.
I. D. VAN HORN. RAYMOND.— Fell asleep in Jesus, at Stowe, Vt., Oct. 7, 1900, of cancer, our beloved sister, Mrs. M. M. Churchill Raymond, aged 82 years. She retained her faculties and powers of mind to a remarkable degree. Within the last few years she had been quite active in missionary work, in distributing a large number of the Signs of the Times, going on foot to do this. All our publications were prized by her. We remember hearing her express surprise that any of our brethren and sisters could do without our good REVIEW. She said that if she were put to the test, she would rather live on one meal a day, than do without the REVIEW. It was in the autumn of 1852 that Sister Raymond, with her former husband, accepted the views of the Seventh-day Adventists. Soon a company were gathered about them, and their house was opened for meetings for many years. But death and removals brought a change, and she was left with none of like faith. Yet her light continued to shine, and her end was that of the righteous—peace, and a blessed assurance of a glorious immortality when Christ shall come. A husband, several children and grandchildren, are left to mourn.
MRS. A. D. HUTCHINS.
