At his home in Lambertville, Mich, Oct. /,
1886, Lucius Farnham, aged 81 years. Mr..
Farnham was a strong pillar in the Univers-
elist church at the place of his residence. He
was a man who will be greatly missed as the
years roll by, and is sincerely mourned by
all. His widow is nearly eighty years of age
and also greatly interested in the cause of
Universalism in Lambertville. They helped
to build the church edifice in that place, and
it has long been their religious home. May

partner of Br. Farnham, who suffers the be-

She is "only waiting" from henceforth.

filled her place in this busy world, and in her
own quiet, loving, gentle way she has done
her duty in each sphere of action SO as to win
the love and praise of all. Quiet and reserved
in manner, only those who were nearest and
most intimate, were really able to know the
depth and beauty of the soul that dwelt in
the earthly house. Devoted to her home and
the loved ones God had given her, the sweet
influence of her life was most deeply felt in
the home, an influence that will ever live in
the hearts of husband, children and chill
dren's children. A few words written re-
Gently in the autobiography of Mr.. Moore
shows how well his Christian faith sustains
him in the evening time of his life: "We
have now maintained our earthly home for
the long period of fifty-eight years, but we
are nearing the end, waiting and looking ev-
cry day to be called away to our Fathers
house in the immortal life, where earthly
pains and sorrows can not enter to disturb
the home of the spirit" God grant thai this
same faith may enter the hearts of all who
are called upon to face the fact of death, as
departure to the life immortal. EFF.
Sarah L. Talbot was born in Marietta, o.,
May 1, 1924. Was married TO A. G. Davis,
Oct. %, 1913. In the spring of 1860 with her
husband and children, she removed to Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, where for many years they
made their home. During their residence
here, death invaded the home circle remov-
ing the husband and father. For few years
her home has been in Gunnison City, COL,
where, on Nov. 10, after lingering illness,
she passed from earth to join the loved
ones gone before. Three children, Mrs. S.
E. Dawson, Geo. E. and Sue L. Davis, mourn
the loss of loving, tender, self-sacriicing
mother. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Su-
san Ii. Taylor, of Mount Pleasant, and
two brothers, VIM. l.. Talbot, of Montana,
and Geo. L. Talbot, of Sioux City, Ia. The
bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy
of the community in their affection. Mrs.
Davis was highly esteemed by all who knew
her, for her simple, virtuous and blameless life.
To neighbors and friends she greatly endear-
ed herself by her quiet, unobtrusive manner
of performing the many acts of neighborly
kindness for which she was distinguishes;
her ready sympathy with the sorrowing, her
gentle helpfulness and unselfsh loyalty to
the welfare of those by whom she was sur
rounded. In all the relations of life, she
bore herself with the simple, quiet dignity of
the Christian woman, and when the final
summons came she passed away in the full
assurance of blissful Immortality. To her
sorrowing children she leaves a priceless
legacy, the memory of her pure and upright
life. Her remains were brought to Mount
Pleasant for burial, and were taken to the
Universalist church (of which she had been
a member for many years., where appropri-
ate services were held, Rev. w. R. Cole Off
