CORNISH.—Died at Sebastopol, Cal., June 8, 1912, Lois E. Cornish. Lois was born Jan. 28, 1908. Though she lived only four and one-half years, her life brought sunshine into the family. Her cheerful disposition endeared her to all who knew her, and she is greatly missed by her parents, one brother, and two sisters, also by the neighbors. We are assured that she was one of the lambs of the Saviour's flock, and that she sleeps in Jesus. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer. D. E. ROBINSON.

Father was one of the pioneers of this message, living through the 1844 movement, and remaining faithful to the end. The funeral services were conducted by Elder Strong (Christian), at the home. Truly father was a consistent Christian, and we feel sure that he will have a part in the first resurrection. His companion and one daughter are left to mourn. MRS. E. L. HIATT.

To this union were born six children, four daughters and two sons, of whom only one son survives. Sister McIntyre was an active woman, of genial spirit and resolute character.
