Death of Mrs. J. O. Corliss
By Editor
It is with deep sadness that we chronicle the death at Glendale, California, on August 16, of the wife of Pastor J. O. Corliss. Mrs. Corliss had gone to that place with her husband to attend the camp-meeting. She had been feeling slightly ill, but not sufficiently to cause uneasiness, and it was thought that the trip to the camp-meeting and the sojourn there would be a help to her. But she was taken with pneumonia, and altho she had the best of medical attention and nursing, the progress of the disease could not be stayed. Pastor Corliss is one of our oldest ministers, having devoted his life for about half a century to the proclamation of this great message of the soon coming of Christ. He is also one of the oldest and best known of the regular contributors to this journal, and has written much for the rest of our denominational press as well. His wife has been the faithful companion and helper in his labors for the past forty-four years. The devotion to each other of Pastor Corliss and wife has ever been very tender, and her unexpected death comes as a severe affliction to this veteran soldier of the cross. We know that the many friends and acquaintances of Brother Corliss where he has labored in so many places in the Old World and the New, and far-off Australia as well, will join us in extending to him our sincere sympathy in this hour of bereavement and affliction.
