Walton.—Died at Exray, Tex., Aug. 2, 1904, our dearly beloved sister, E. H. Walton. She accepted the truth at Cleburne, Tex., in 1877, under the labors of Elder R. M. Kilgore, and, although separated from all of like precious faith, she was true to her convictions, and died believing in a soon-coming Saviour. Sister Walton was a noble Christian, a true friend, and a faithful and loving mother. M. L. Criner.

Cosby.—Died at Richmond, Va., Aug. 21, 1904, Martha Fenton, daughter of Eva M. Cosby, aged 4 months and 13 days. Only a few days later, September 3, came word that the mother had succumbed to an attack of inflammation of the bowels. Eva M. Cosby, daughter of O. F. and Hattie E. Dart, was born at Oswego, N. Y., July 6, 1876. Besides her three small children, she leaves her parents, to whom her death was a sad blow, but they sorrow not as others who have no hope. Services were conducted by the writer, from 1 Cor. 15:19. R. D. Hottel.

Donaldson.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kinnear, in Edgecomb, Wash., Aug. 13, 1904, of cancer, Mrs. Ann Donaldson, aged 86 years and 2 months. Sister Donaldson was a native of Scotland, and came to this country thirty-two years ago. About sixteen years ago she accepted present truth in Batavia, N. Y., to which she adhered until the end. She suffered much in her last sickness, but her trust in God sustained her. She leaves two sons and two daughters to sorrow. Funeral sermon was preached by the writer. W. W. Sharp.

Gennings.—Died near Murfreesboro, Tenn., Aug. 14, 1904, of tuberculosis, Mrs. Mary Philpott Gennings, aged 23 years. She had been in failing health for about two years, and had been confined to her bed most of the time for the past three months. She bore her long suffering with Christian patience, and just before her death she said the future looked bright to her, and she was ready to go to rest, assuring her husband that she would come forth in the morning of the first resurrection. A large company of sympathizing friends was present when she was laid to rest until the Life-giver shall come. B. A. Philpott.

Estep.—Joseph Estep died Sept. 5, 1904, aged 69 years and 20 days. Brother Estep was in failing health for more than a year, and as the end drew near, he realized more the necessity of fully identifying himself with the people of God, and the third angel’s message, with which he had been acquainted for many years. He was baptized a few days previous to our camp-meeting, by Elder A. C. Neff, and was received into full fellowship in the church, having fully accepted Christ as his Saviour. He leaves a wife and a daughter to mourn their loss. The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elder A. C. Neff. R. D. Hottel.
