GOODHUE.—Fell asleep at Spokane, Wash., Jan. 16, 1906, Sister Marcia Goodhue, aged 91 years, 11 months, and 7 days. Grandma had been a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church for over fifty years. Her faith was strong, and she passed away like one going to sleep. She was the mother of five children. The latter part of her life was spent with her son Henry and his wife, and as she became helpless and feeble, every attention was shown her by her children. The funeral service was conducted by the writer. In accordance with her request she was buried by the side of her husband on the family lot at Stevens Point, Wis. C. E. FORD.

SUTTON.—Died at Downs, Kan., Jan. 20, 1906, of typhoid fever, Mrs. Ida M. Sutton, wife of Elder N. T. Sutton, aged 31 years, 4 months, and 28 days. At a meeting of the Methodist people in 1893 Sister Sutton was converted, and one year later accepted the light of present truth, which always remained dear to her heart. After teaching public school for three years, her interests were enlisted with the church-school work, to which she devoted two winters. After her marriage to Elder Sutton, she was a great help to him in his ministerial work in the State, and the people of Kansas feel that they have lost a devoted laborer for the cause of truth. Her husband, a father, mother, four brothers, and six sisters mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from 2 Sam. 14:14. I. F. THORN.

He accepted present truth at Hutchinson, Minn., thirty-three years ago, and was ever an earnest Christian worker. For a number of years he was connected with the Minnesota Conference as a Bible reader. He was especially gifted in visiting the people in their homes. His manifest piety and Christian bearing opened the homes of the people to him wherever he went. His companion, two sons, and a daughter are left to feel their loss. We laid him to rest under some spreading oaks in a cemetery near Faribault, Minn., where in former years he had buried two of his children. Comforting scriptures were read at the cemetery by the writer. C. W. FLAIZ.

SCHULER.—Died at Duluth, Minn., Feb. 20, 1906, of peritonitis, Vera Nutting-Schuler, aged 30 years and 7 months. She was the daughter and only child of Brother and Sister E. W. Nutting, and niece of Sister A. G. Daniells. She committed her case into the hands of the Lord, and seemed to have perfect confidence that she would be restored to health, nevertheless she said, “The Lord’s will be done;” and this attitude she maintained till the very last. She had no fear of death, her peace having been made with God, and she calmly fell asleep in Jesus to await the morning of the great resurrection. She leaves a husband, a son, father and mother, and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer from Rev. 21:4. J. F. POGUE.

GREEN.—Died at Berrien Springs, Mich., Jan. 11, 1906, in her seventieth year, Mrs. Annie M. Green. Sister Green was formerly a member of the Episcopal Church, or Church of England, but in 1876 she became a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Oakland, Ill. Salvation through Jesus Christ was always her hope. In disposition she was kind and gentle, naturally sociable, tender-hearted, affectionate, and very conscientious. During the past four years she had been in poor health, which finally resulted in partial internal, or medullary, paralysis. She leaves two brothers, two sisters, and four children to mourn their loss. She died a firm believer in the soon-coming Saviour, and in hope of a resurrection with the just. A brief funeral service was conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Haughey, by the writer, after which the remains were taken to the family burying-ground at Vermillion Grove, Ill. N. W. KAUBLE.

HUDSON.—Died at her home, in Fennville, Mich., Feb. 28, 1906, Sister Almira C. Hudson, in the last half of her eightieth year. Until about three months before her decease, she was remarkably well and active for one of her years. Her decline was very gradual. On the day of her death she walked to her couch, where for some time she seemed to be sweetly sleeping, but without awakening she quietly breathed her last. When sixteen years old, she united with the Congregationalist Church. Later investigation led her to be baptized and unite with the Baptist communion. The same love for Scriptural accuracy caused her to accept the third angel’s message, and in the Seventh-day Adventist Church she remained a consistent member nearly half a century. She taught school many years, mostly in Michigan. Her earnings were devoted to the cause of God, and she was among the first to take shares in the Review Office and in the old Health Institute at Battle Creek. L. C. HUTCHINS.
