LESSENGER.—Died at her home, near Mission, Wash., Sept. 27, 1903, of consumption, my sister Sarah J. Lessenger, aged 42 years, 4 months, and 3 days. The last two years of her life were ones of great suffering. She died with a bright hope of immortality when Jesus comes. She leaves a husband, two sons, and three daughters to mourn their loss. Words of comfort were spoken by Rev. Gunn (Presbyterian), from 1 Cor. 15:19. ELLA COOPER.

CADY.—Died at Lewiston, Minn., Nov. 28, 1903, Henry C. Cady, aged 82 years, 3 months, and 16 days. At the end of one brief hour of suffering, heart-disease closed his life. Nearly thirty years ago he accepted the message under the preaching of Elder W. B. Hill. He was a constant reader of the REVIEW all these years. His aged companion survives him, also two sons, and two step-daughters who greatly miss his faithful life and wise counsel. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Ps. 30:5. W. W. STEBBINS.

COOL.—Fell asleep in Jesus at the home of his parents, near Murdocksville, Pa., Nov. 13, 1903, Bert Cool, only son of Augustine and Mary Cool, aged 24 years and 6 months. He had typhoid fever six years ago, from the effects of which he never recovered. He lived a devoted Christian life, and died in the blessed hope of a soon-coming Saviour. He leaves his father, mother, one sister, and many friends to mourn their loss. The funeral texts were of his own selection, being Ps. 116:15 and 1 Thess. 4:14. From these scriptures words of comfort were spoken by Rev. W. Asdale (Presbyterian). BLANCHE COOL.

EATON.—Died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. I. Crafts, in Edmonton, Alberta, Nov. 15, 1903, after an illness of eight months, Mrs. Mary A. Eaton, aged 86 years, 3 months, and 11 days. Father and mother united with the Baptist Church in New York in 1838. The following year they moved to Michigan, where she was interested in the Sabbath question by her uncle, Jonathan Whitmore, of Jackson City, and in 1853 she began keeping the seventh-day Sabbath, which she observed alone for fifty years. In 1882 she transferred her church membership from Jackson, Mich., to Fargo, N. D., of which church she was a member the remainder of her life. She never had the privilege of attending many meetings, but was a subscriber of the REVIEW AND HERALD since the year 1855; she also took the health journal for many years. Her life was full of good deeds. She lived to mourn the death of her aged husband and eight children, only two children surviving her. Comforting words were spoken by the Baptist pastor, Mr. McDonald, from John 14:1, 2. MRS. W. I. CRAFTS.
