RHODES.—Sister F. R. Rhodes, wife of Isaac Rhodes, died of pneumonia, at her home, near Albertson, Shasta County, Cal., Dec. 15, 1884, aged 58 years, 10 months, and 5 days.

Sister Rhodes was born near Danville, Northumberland County, Pa., but spent the greater part of her life in this State. She was converted at the age of 20, and united with the Baptist Church. In the summer of 1877, under the preaching of Elder Healey, she embraced the faith of the Seventh-day Adventists, of which church she remained a worthy member till her death. During the last weeks of her life her heart was filled with peace and Christian love toward all, and in her last hours she gave evidence that she was ready to depart. She leaves a husband and two children to mourn her departure.

A funeral discourse was delivered by Rev. G. W. Burtner, from John 11:25.
