MRS. M. B. CLINGLER. GIBBS.—Died July 1, 1902, at the home of her parents, in Hartford, Mich., Edith Irena Gibbs, aged 22 years, 1 month, and 20 days. She was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church at Covert, Mich., and was a true and faithful Christian. She leaves a father, mother, and one brother. The funeral was held in the Methodist church, and words of comfort were spoken by the writer.
R. E. HARTER. WADDELL.—Died at her home near Baraboo, Wis., June 29, 1902, Mrs. Selena C. Waddell, wife of Henry Waddell. She was born in Virginia, Oct. 9, 1840. She united with the Seventh-day Adventist church of Baraboo, Wis., about twenty-five years ago, which faith she held dear until death. She died trusting God. A husband and nine children are left to mourn. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Hosea 13:14.
F. F. PETERSEN. WARREN.—Died at De Smet, S. D., May 13, 1902, Josiah Hix Warren. He was born at Chateaugay, N. Y., April 27, 1825. In 1862 he moved with his family to South Dakota, where he resided until the time of his death. The deceased joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church early in the history of the denomination, and was a consistent follower until the time of his death, passing away in the firm hope of eternal life. Funeral services were held in the Congregational church, Rev. Martin officiating, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Hammond cemetery.
W. H. W. RAMSEY.—Lillian Gilbert was born in Barton, Md., June 28, 1875, and died at Boulder, Colo., May 25, 1902. Dec. 28, 1896, she was married to A. H. Ramsey. Failing health compelled her last January to seek relief in Colorado. Her experience was like that of thousands of others,—her condition improved for a little time, owing to the stimulus of the climate, only to yield finally to the ravages of consumption. In early life she gave her heart to God, uniting first with the Methodist Church, and about two years ago with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. She died in the hope of a resurrection at the coming of the Lord. She leaves a husband and two children, besides other relatives.
F. M. WILCOX. BEAR.—Died at Phœnix, Ariz., May 19, 1902, of consumption, Leon Clarence Bear, aged 20 years, 8 months, and 23 days. Three years ago he decided to give his life to the work of the gospel, and went to Mt. Vernon Academy for a preparation. Here he experienced a decided change in his life, and applied himself diligently to his studies until it was found that that dread disease had fastened itself upon him. Immediately he came to Arizona in hope of being benefited, but had to give up the battle after two years of patient suffering. In his last days he was comforted by the unerring, tender care of his mother. The writer spoke comforting words from Prov. 14:32. He was taken to his home in Milwaukee, Wis., where he was laid away to rest until the Life-giver comes.
