Death of Miss Dr. Lamson.
THE following we copy from the Review and Herald of Aug. 7:— “Friday morning, Aug. 3, the sad news was received of the death of Dr. Phebe M. Lamson of the Sanitarium, who had left this city only a few days previous to visit her relatives in Newfane, New York. Her disease was pneumonia, which speedily accomplished its fatal work. Her loss to the institution with which she was connected seems irreparable. Impressive and solemn memorial services were held at the Sanitarium in the evening of Aug. 3.” Sister Lamson was connected with the “Health Reform Institute” (now Sanitarium) in Battle Creek from the beginning of the work there in 1865. She was a devoted, faithful worker. We learn also from the Review that the loss of life in the railroad accident in which Prof. Stone was killed was greater than at first reported. There were twenty-two killed, and several others have since died. Sisters Stone and Salisbury are both recovering.
