MILLS.—Died, in Alameda, Cal., May 23, 1885, of inflammation of the stomach, Phebe R. Mills, aged 61 years and 20 days.
Sister Mills, whose maiden name was Hamilton, was born in western New York. She lived a number of years in Chicago, where she embraced "the present truth" by reading. She was among the earliest to receive the Sabbath in that city. She came to this coast and lived with her daughter, Sister Brown, of San Francisco. Her health was never good after coming to the coast, and she had severe and painful sicknesses. Her faith in the truth of God was firm, and her hope strong in his promises. She rests in the Lord, and we do not sorrow hopelessly.
Funeral services at the Seventh-day Adventist house of worship in San Francisco, May 25, where we spoke from Ps. 39:4, to a large company of brethren, sisters, and friends.
