“I am the resurrection and the life.”—Jesus.

LEWIS.—Died at Talala, I. T., Dec. 11, 1899, of typhoid fever. Asa T. Lewis, aged 54 years. Brother Lewis accepted the message at Elk City, Kan., eleven years ago, and has been a devoted believer ever since, serving as elder of the church for some time. A wife and eight children remain. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from John 11: 25. C. SORENSON.

COTTRELL.—Died at Ridgeway, N. Y., Catharine M. Cottrell, widow of Elder R. F. Cottrell, aged 81 years, 1 month, 11 days. Sister Cottrell was born in Alden, Erie Co., and in 1850 accepted the third angel’s message under the preaching of Elders Hewitt and Joseph Bates. She was always a faithful worker in the Lord’s vineyard, and now, resting beside her loved companion, together they await the sound of the trump that shall call the righteous forth. Remarks at the funeral were made by Elder Mc Farland (Episcopal). W. C. EATON.

SHENAMAN.—Killed, Dec. 1, 1899, by a Union Pacific passenger train near Talmo, Kan., Sister Martha E. Shenaman, of Beaver City, Neb. Sister Shenaman was visiting relatives in Cloud and Republic counties, Kansas, and, while crossing the railroad track, was caught by the engine and instantly killed. She accepted present truth in 1874, and has ever since lived a consistent Christian. She leaves seven children, five sons and two daughters, the youngest being twelve years old. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. F. GODFREY.

CULBERTSON.—Died at Cave Spring, Ga., of dropsy, Dr. Culbertson, aged 67 years. He joined the Baptist Church in 1852. About thirteen years ago he accepted the Sabbath truth, which came to him in a paper wrapped around a bottle sent by a friend. After that he received literature on the Sabbath question from some person in Battle Creek. When the truth found him, he was a slave to morphine, tobacco, whiskey, and coffee; but he conquered through Christ, and fell asleep in Jesus, with a hope of having a part in the first resurrection. Comforting words were spoken at the funeral by Elder Pullen (Baptist). Text, 2 Tim. 4: 6-8. M. W. LEWIS.
