HALL.—Died, in Woodland, Cal., July 4, 1884, Sister L. M. Hall, aged 72 years, 1 month, and 19 days.

Sister Hall was born in Madison County, N. Y. She came to California in 1853, and settled in Woodland in 1864. She formerly belonged to the M. E. Church, but embraced the Sabbath truth in 1872, since which time she was a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church of Woodland.

She suffered much in her last sickness, and fell asleep in hope of a better resurrection.

A large gathering of friends and neighbors attended the funeral, who listened with interest to a discourse on 1 Cor. 15:53. EDITOR.

BROWN.—Died, June 22, by drowning in Bushard's Bay, near Santa Ana, Los Angeles Co., Cal., John and James Brown, sons of Bro. Daniel Brown.

John was aged 24 years, 8 months, and 7 days, and had been married but a few months. James was aged 13 years, 2 months, and 22 days.

The mother, the wife of the elder brother, and other members of the family, witnessed the scene from the shore, but were unable to render any assistance. The family were on a fishing excursion, and the boy was swimming in the bay.

He called for help, and his brother waded out some distance and handed him a pole, which he grasped and by some unknown means both were drawn under the water. The bodies were not secured until several days after the occurrence. Funeral services were conducted by Bro. R. A. Morton, of Orange. NELLIE A. BROWN.
