People in this vicinity have doubtless
heard of the death of Deacon William A.
Perkins, which occurred in Lodi, Califor-
MIA, Dec. 20. A California paper has an
interesting obituary notice of him from
which we gather the fact that he died of
consumption after a long and distressing
| Illness. Speaking of his character the
paper said: "He fell asleep with praise
on his lips. He won praise from all be-
cause of his noble character, truthfulness
and loyalty. He was friend of God and
prayed Thy Kingdom Come He was
devoted to his family, gentle, patient, low
ing, sanity in his department. and it was
not hardship to serve at his side. We
are sad when we remember that he is no
longer with us, but we are, nevertheless,
glad that he has gone to his reward. 4"
