RECENT DEATHS.
Warden.

Tohn w. Warden of this place died
at the home of his brother, Erskine
Warden, at Waltham, Mass, on Sat
urday, Ian. 25, at the age of So
wears. Mr.. Warden had been in fail
ing health for two years. and left his
home here the last of October and
went to his brothers, hoping that a
change, with medical treatment,
would be beneficial He failed so
rapidly after his arrival in Massachu-
setts that he was unable to return
home and passed away quietly as
above stated.
John w. Warden was born in Bar
net in S31. He was the son of Capt.
William and Abigail Warden, his
mother being still living though past
four score years of age. Save two
years when he was in California, his
entire life was passed near the place
of his birth For 27 years he has
been in the employ of the Fairbanks s
scale company, and he undoubtedly
worked too hard and confined him
self too closely to his work for his
health. But it was his nature to be
faithful in everything and he carried
this into his daily work. He was a
man of quiet demeanor, upright, in
telligent, and respected by all who
knew him. Heleavesa widow great
ly bereft, one son and an adopted
daughter. Three brothers and two
sisters also survive him. Funeral
services were held at his late home,

ed by Rev. c. NJ. Lamson. Burial at

Merriam.

The many friends of E. B. Merriam
and family, now of Topeka, Kansas,
will sylnpathize with them in their
recent reavement, the loss of their
son, Fred, who died Jan Dist. He
was taken i'll while away from home
and in less than a week after his
father had brought him back to To-
peka he died of acute peritonitis.
This is a sudden and severe blow to
the family. No one realized that the
illness was dangerous until few
hours before death. Fred passed
away peacefully, and few hours be-
fore noon expressed himself as recon-
ciled and happy in the thought of
dying. After singing some familiar
hymns he kissed the family goodbye,
and sank into Inconsistencies. The
family have many warm friends here
who sympathiz with them in their
sorrow. All who know the Christian
faith of this beautiful Christian home
do not need to be told of the way in
which this aff1iction is received
"WhOm the Lord loveth He chasten-
eth" The faith which sees beyond
the grave, and beholds IAN inherit
ance incorruptible, undefiled, and
that fadeth not away" lights up
this home, and brightens even the
shadow of this event
