STEWART.— Died near Miniota, Manitoba, Sept. 19, 1906, Bessie Maude Stewart, aged 23 years and 5 days. When but a girl she, with her parents, accepted the Sabbath message, which she loved till the day of her death. She was married to Alva A. Stewart, and to them were born two girls.

DENOYER.— Died at her home in Ontario, Ore., Sept. 25, 1906, of neuralgia of the heart and general debility, Sister Mary Denoyer, aged 79 years, 3 months, and 15 days. She was esteemed by all who knew her as a faithful and consistent Christian.

TAYLOR.— Accidentally drowned in Yellowstone Lake, National Park, Aug. 26, 1906, William Brison Taylor, in the twenty-seventh year of his age. Before coming to Montana from Texas, he had enlisted in the regular army, and had served in the Philippines. He embraced the truths of the third angel's message a few months ago, and united with the church at Bozeman, being baptized by the writer only a few days before his death. He was a consistent Christian, respected and beloved by those who knew him, and we believe that when the sea gives up its dead, he will come forth clothed with immortality. He leaves a father, mother, sister, and two brothers to mourn their loss. As the body has never been recovered from the lake, memorial service was held in Bozeman November 10, when words of hope and comfort were spoken by the writer, based on John 11:25 and Rev. 14:13. W. A. GOSMER.

KOENIG.— Died at the family residence, near Council Bluffs, Iowa, Oct. 12, 1906, of a complication of stomach and liver troubles, Mary D. Koenig, wife of Henry C. Koenig. The deceased was born at Freelandville, Ind., March 28, 1857. She was converted in her youth, uniting with the German M. E. Church, and in 1897, through the labors of Elder H. J. Schnepper, she accepted present truth, and was a faithful believer in the message for this time. She was a kind mother, and a faithful and hospitable friend. A husband and eight children are left to mourn. A short service was held at the house, after which a large number of friends followed the remains to the German M. E. church at Dumfries, where Elder B. L. Dieffenbacher, of College View, Neb., preached a helpful and impressive sermon, after which she was laid to rest in the little country cemetery, there to await the summons of the great Life-giver at the first resurrection.
