OBITURY.

Leonard Miller was born Decem-
Der I9, 1880; died August IA, 1897;
aged I6 years, 7 months and IS
days.
Leonard was bright, promising
young man and his loss will be
severely felt in the family circle and
sommupity. For a year or two his
health has been poor bur his final
sickness was only of a few days.
1t seemed that he had been led
to think seriously of the liability
OF early death, and the necessity of
a preparation. Remarks made to
his mother show that the Christian
faith had been accepted and on his
death bed he was resigned and
answered that his trust was in the
Lord.
A very large gathering was in
attendance at his funeral, which
was conducted by Rev. T. NJ.
Ramsdell. Many tributes of flowers
manifested the public sympathy,
and the bereaved family telt a
thankfulness for this manifestation
of sympathy.
He was buried appropriately neal
Elk City.
