Pacific Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Oakland, California · Mar 15, 1877

DIED, at her home near Grangville, Tulare Co., Cal., March 2, 1877, in the 68th year of her age, Roxelana L. Lewis, wife of Mr. M. Lewis formerly of Tafton, Wis. Sister L. embraced Christianity at the age of nine years, and for 59 years has lived a life devoted to that cause.

About ten years ago, under the labor of Eld. Sanborn, she embraced the truths held dear by Seventh-day Adventists, and remained firm, although not associated with any of like faith. Among her last words were these: “We shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” She leaves a husband, children and grandchildren who deeply mourn their loss.

Remarks by the writer, from Rev. 21:7.

DIED, of quick consumption, in Tekamah, Neb., Feb. 27, 1877, Annie E. Whittaker, aged 14 years, 5 months and 8 days.

In her dying hour she gave such advice and testimony as will always cheer the hearts of those left behind to press forward and “never give up.” She was a strict observer of the Sabbath, and died in full hope of a resurrection with the just.

Funeral sermon by Rev. Wm. Olinger (Methodist) from Mark 5:39, last clause, “The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.”
