AMES.—Died at Maple Valley, King Co., W. T., three of Brother and Sister Ames' children, as follows: Elsie Floretta, died December 30, 1888, aged 8 years, 9 months, and 29 days; also Lucy May, died January 2d, 1889, aged 5 years, 7 months, and 29 days, and Keturah Ann, died January 3rd, 1889, aged 14 years, 3 months, and 21 days. They were all keeping the Lord's Sabbath with their mother. Keturah, the oldest, was a member of the Maple Valley Church with her mother. The dear little ones seemed to realize they were going to die, and their last request was that their papa would pray for them; and they were willing to go if he would become a Christian. We are happy to say that he has since been baptized and joined the church, and we with him hope to live faithful to the end, and meet the dear little children when the Life-giver comes. Words of comfort were spoken by Elder S. Dalton. G. W. DAVIS.
