J. D. AND M. E. BANDY

By J. D. and M. E. Bandy

BANDY.—Died of consumption, in San Pasqual, San Diego Co., Cal., April 24, 1885, Nannie Bandy, aged 24 years, 2 months, and 24 days.

She was born in Madison Co., Mo. For the past two years she has been failing in health; and, during the past five months, she has been almost helpless.

During this time she has had two strokes of paralysis; the first was on the 14th of February, and for a week she was unconscious. She gradually got around again. On the 22d of April, she had the second, which resulted in paralysis all over; from this she did not recover. She was unconscious until death released her. She was a great sufferer, and lingered many weeks in great pain. She bore all her sufferings with meekness, and longed to go to rest until Christ should come and call her home. She thought it would be a comfort to rest from the perils of the last days. She has been keeping the Sabbath since she was 13 years of age, and was baptized in July, 1879. Remarks by Brother John Judson to an audience of sympathizing friends, from 1 Cor. 15:50-58. We mourn, but not as those that have no hope.
