OBITUARY

By I. D. Van Horn

LAY.—Died in Allegan, Mich., March 13, 1901, of anæmia, George T. Lay, aged 78 years, 4 months, 23 days. He was born in Lockport, N. Y. At the age of twenty-one he came to Allegan, Mich., where he spent the rest of his life. About 1858 he accepted the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists, and joined the church at Monterey at the time of its organization. From this time he maintained a firm belief in the Scriptures and in the truth for our time. The last year and a half of his life, with failing health, he spent much time reading his Bible and books on present truth, especially “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation.” A few days before his death he had a bright experience, in which he gave assurance of peace with God. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn their loss. The funeral was held at his late home in Allegan, and a brief service at the meeting-house in Monterey, following which the burial service took place in the South Monterey Cemetery.
