FLECK.—Died near Beaverton, Washington County, Oregon, January 31, 1889, of cerebro-meningitis, Freddie C. Fleck, son of J. D. and Sarah E. Fleck, aged 13 years, 4 months, and 19 days.

Freddie suffered much during his illness, and was unconscious the last few days.

Remarks from Heb. 9:27, 28, by the writer. W. C. WARD.

KLASE.—Died at St. Helena, Cal., February 27, 1889, of consumption, Sister Isabell E. Klase, aged 58 years, 1 month, and 13 days. Sister Klase was born in Montville, Ohio, but removed while still young to Wisconsin, where she was married. In 1877 she went to Battle Creek, Michigan, where she resided till 1884, when she came to California, and, being in feeble health, went to the Rural Health Retreat for treatment. In the course of a few months she was so far restored as to be able to assume the management of the culinary department of that institution, a position for which several years' experience in the Sanitarium in Battle Creek had admirably fitted her, and the duties of which she continued to discharge till some five months previous to her death.

Sister Klase was esteemed by all who knew her as a most estimable Christian woman, and those who were with her in her last hours testify that she died firm in the faith of a soon-coming Saviour, and with the blessed assurance that she was accepted of God. She leaves two grown-up children, a son and daughter, besides numerous relatives and friends, whose sorrow because of her death is greatly assuaged by the knowledge that she sleeps in Jesus. The funeral services were conducted by Elders J. Fulton and H. A. St. John, the latter of whom spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing friends from 1 Cor. 15:55-57.
