Obituary.

COON.—Died in Burrough Valley, Cal., December 2 1882, of heart disease, Jacob Coon, in the eighty-first year of his age. He retired feeling about as usual, but in the morning we found him peacefully sleeping to awaken no more till the last trumpet shall sound. He has made his home with his daughter, Sister J. Hutchings, who moved to Healdsburg about two months ago, where she expected her father to join her. He has kept the Sabbath for some time though not a member of the S. D. A. Church. His Christian character was such as to command the love and respect of all who know him.
As Sister Hutchings has been bereft of a kind and loving father and her hopes of meeting him here have been blasted, may it be theirs to meet in the earth made new. He leaves a large circle of friends who hope to meet him when the Master comes to make up his jewels. His remains were taken to Fairview where they were placed beside his grandchildren. Remarks and prayer at the grave by Eld. W. R. Smith.

KLINE.—Died in Etna, Siskiyou Co., Cal., Dec. 11, 1882, Mrs. Clara Belle Kline, aged 19 years, 8 months, and 29 days. A little less than three months ago she was married to Mr. C. W. Kline of Arbuckle, Colusa County, her maiden name being Miss Clara B. Francis. Immediately after their marriage she left with her husband for his home, where she remained until about two weeks ago. Her health being very poor her physicians advised a visit to this place, in hopes that the mountain air would be beneficial to her health. Previous to Monday she was able to be around, but Monday morning she was taken unusually ill, and died at half-past 9 o'clock the same evening. The funeral took place Thursday afternoon, and was largely attended—all the stores closing out of respect to her memory. She leaves a husband, brothers, and sister, on this coast, who mourn not as those who have no hope, for we believe she will live again, and we hope to be prepared to meet her in the first resurrection. We would like the prayers of our people in this time of sorrow.
