BURRES.—Died, Nov. 6, 1886, of typhoid pneumonia, our dear little Sister Queenie Burres, youngest daughter of B. O. and H. L. Burres, of Gilroy, Santa Clara Co., Cal., aged 12 years, 9 months, and 16 days. Queenie and her parents had formerly lived at Stockton. Coming to Gilroy a few years since, she, her mother, sister, and brother were led, through the preaching of Elder E. A. Briggs, to embrace the present truth. She was a bright, cheerful, earnest little Christian, always on hand and ready to bear testimony for the Master, who invites little children to come to him. She was loved by all who knew her. Her funeral was large, the services being preached by the pastor of the Presbyterian Church, I. D. Waterman, from 1 Cor. 15:1-28 and 1 Thess. 4:13-18. H. F. COURTER.
