WINKLER.—E. G. Winkler, of Rosalia, Wash. Ter., died July 31, 1889, aged 37 years. His disease was sarcoma of the kidneys. He had been in failing health for some time, and thinking he might be benefited at the Sanitarium, spent a part of last year there. He returned to his home in Washington Territory in the early part of winter, but did not improve as it was hoped he would. He attended the camp-meeting at Colfax, and feeling the necessity of taking advanced steps, was rebaptized. Feeling the need of help he could not obtain at home, he returned to the Sanitarium, but there was no help. He was a great sufferer, but bore it with Christian patience. He was brother-in-law to Dr. Kate Lindsay, by whom the remains were taken to Wisconsin, the home of her father, where he was laid to rest until the Life-giver comes. None of his family were with him at the time of his death. He leaves a wife, six children, an aged mother, two brothers, and two sisters to mourn, but not without hope. Funeral services by the writer.
