Obituary.

RUOFF.—Died, in Stockton, Cal., May 8, of heart disease, Charles Ruoff, aged 49 years. Sister Ruoff, who for several years has been a leading representative of the Seventh-day Adventist faith in Stockton, will receive the sympathy of many brethren and sisters, now located in various parts of the great field, who have known of her persistent faith and labors in behalf of the cause.

FAIRCHILD.—Died of epilepsy, at his home in Fish Creek, Wis., April 10, 1889, Brother Charles Fairchild, aged 58 years, 11 months, 1 day. He was born at Bethlehem, Conn., May 9, 1830, and resided there the greater part of the time until he removed to Wisconsin, in 1861, from which date he has been a resident of this place. He embraced the S. D. A. faith about the year 1875, and was for several years an active member of the church, being at one time the leader. He has been a great sufferer for the past seven years. He leaves a wife and five children, three of whom are married and have families. In the absence of a minister, a few remarks were made by the writer from 1 Cor. 15. May God bless the surviving members of this dear family, and may they prepare to meet the loved ones gone before, in the first resurrection. STEPHEN NORTON.
