Obituary.
try.

Sister Christina Legg, daughter of Jacob
and Rachel John, was born in Iowa, Feb. 4,
lS45. Married to W. T. Legg in Wash.
Ter, July -, 1859. Died at her residence
near East Portland, Oregon, May -, 1880.
She endured her suffering with christian
fortitude. She expressed desire to live
for the sake Of her dear husband and her
five children, but with christian resignation
was willing to depart if God should will it.
Her mind was clear and her faith unwavcr-
ing to the last. She was converted and joined
the NJ. r. Church when a little girl, and re.
manned faithful member until death. AZ
ter arranging few things about her burial
and selecting the hymns to he sung at her
funeral, she bid her sister Rodie farewell,
told her to be faithful and they would meet
again. She then called her weeping family
to her bedside, bidding them an affection
ate farewell, exorting them to be good and
meet her in heaven. A few moments before
her death she said, II am trusting in Jesus
all is we'll. and passed away to the better
land.
A very appropriate funeral sermon was
preached BY Rev. Brother Dcnison Of East
Portland. MARY.
