Joseph Waters

By W. M. Healey

WATERS.—Died at Windsor, Sonoma County, Cal., February 6, 1885, Joseph Waters, a native of Maryland, and former resident of Pennsylvania and Indiana, aged nearly 84 years.
Deceased was for the most of his life a member of the M. E. Church. But during the last few years he became a convert to the views of Seventh-day Adventists, by reading, being so badly afflicted with deafness that he was unable to hear preaching. He had been addicted to the use of tobacco for about sixty years, but becoming convinced that it was wrong, gave up the habit about six months previous to his death. He leaves two step-daughters at Windsor, with whom he lived at the time of his death, who also believe in the Third Angel's Message, and hope for the soon coming of Christ and the resurrection of the dead. A large number of neighbors and friends attended the funeral. Discourse by the writer, from Acts 26:8. W. M. HEALEY.
