Obituary.

Died in the city of Austin. Tex. on the
morning of July 70, 1888, Mrs. Olivia NJ. Hotch-
kiss consort of Rev. o. I. Hotchkiss, of the
Texas conference, and daughter of the late
Judge w. j. Russell.
Deceased was born November q. 1852, in
Fayette county, Texas; professed religion
June IA, 1867. and connected herself with the
Methodist church (south), of which she lived
an exemplary member until her death. She
came to Austin November q, 1872, and entered
heartily into the enterprises of the church of
her choice, filling the position of organist
there for years, pouring forth such strains of
melody from her richly cultivated voice that
congregations remained spell bound under its
magnetic influence. But now
