RUSSELL.—Died of consumption, November 26 1885, at her home in Alpine, Morrow County, Or. Louisa Melvina Russell, youngest daughter of Wm. and Anna Russell, aged eighteen years and four months. At the age of eleven, with her parents and two brothers, she embraced the present truth under the labors of Elder Van Horn. Ever since that time she has been keeping the commandments of God, and leading an exemplary Christian life. At different times she expressed a desire to live to see the Saviour come, and to be a comfort to her parents in their declining years. But it was her great ambition to get an education that would prepare her to work in the cause of God, which she loved so much. A father, mother, one brother, and two sisters mourn their loss; but they sorrow not as those having no hope. OLIVE B. OAKS.
