J. N. LOUGHBOROUGH

By John Norton Loughborough

GROVE.—Died, near Garfield, W. T., March 20, 1885, Elva, daughter of Brother and Sister Grove, aged 17 years.

Sister Elva was secretary of the Garfield Sabbath-school, and will be greatly missed. She died quite suddenly at home, while her parents were at Sabbath-school and meeting. She was feeling poorly in the morning, complaining of a headache, yet she urged her parents to go to the meeting, which was about five miles from their home. They accordingly went, not supposing her sickness to be anything serious. The younger children were left at home with her. About one hour after the parents left home she was taken with severe pain in her head and eyes. In ten minutes she became delirious, and in about two hours she died. Her parents on their way home from the meeting met a messenger who informed them that their daughter was dead. A large concourse of people attended the funeral on first-day, to whom I discoursed of that time when there "shall be no more death." Rev. 21:4.
