SCHNABEL.—Died, February 7, 1889, at her daughter's house (Sister Prosser), Reno, Nev., Sister Elizabeth Schnabel, aged 68 years, 3 months, and 21 days. In 1844 Sister Schnabel embraced the First Angel's Message under the preaching of William Miller. Since that time she has been living a consistent Christian life, and has walked out in the light as the study of God's word revealed it to her. About eleven years ago she accepted the Sabbath and all the truths of the Third Angel's Message, and joined the Rocklin church. Her death was very sudden, and without the least suffering; it can be literally said that "she fell asleep in Jesus." She leaves one son and two daughters, all married, to mourn their loss. The body was taken to Newcastle, Cal., and buried from the Congregationalist Church, Rev. N. R. Peck and J. L. Fisher officiating.
