BOWLSBY.—Died of acute pneumonia at St. Helena, Cal., November 11, 1887, John K. Bowlsby, aged 63 years.

Brother Bowlsby had been a believer in the Third Angel’s Message for about twenty-three years, and those who knew him best say his life was that of a humble Christian. He sleeps in peace, and we laid him away until the Life-giver shall come. Remarks at the grave from 1 Thess. 4:13, 14, by the writer. J. A. BURDEN.

MATTESON.—Died in Alameda, Cal., November 12, 1887, of consumption, Frederika, wife of John Matteson, natives of Sweden, aged 31 years, 6 months, and 12 days. She accepted the present truth a short time ago. Her attention was first called to it by Brother G. Anderson. She suffered intensely toward the last, but her hope in God was firm and she died in the triumphs of the Christian’s faith. She leaves a husband and two children. Funeral service took place November 14, at their home. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer to mourner and a large number of sympathizing friends. Text, Rev. 14:13. ANDREW BRORSEN.
