Obituary.

For the Reflector.
Mrs. Emma Cooley Frazier was born
In Pennsylvania ON Feb. 10, 1867, and
died at Oreana, Idaho, June 29, 1901.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Francis Cooley Of Abilene, Kansas.
When Emma was q it'll child her
parents moved to Ohio and later to
their present home in Kansas, where
she grew to womanhood and for seven
years taught in the public schools.
She was favorite with both pupils
and patrons, winning for herself a
splendid record. The later years Of
her life were spent in Idaho, where
for three years she followed success
fully her chosen profession So well
did she perform her work that her
services we're sought for by those
who wish to obtain the best. Miss
Cooley was married to Mr.. !. A..
Frazier Of Silver City, Idaho, at Cald-
well. Idaho, Dec. 81, 1896 To this
union two sons we're born, who with
the husband and father are left lonely
and sad. Theirs was a happy home,
but the shadow OF death has rendered
1t desolate indeed. All who knew
Mrs. Frazier realize keenly the loss
sustained. The subject of this mem.
DIR was converted and united with
the NJ. Z. church when fourteen years
Of age. Her Christian life was de-
voted. earnest and faithful. Sunday
school work was delight to her.
Her Master found ready response in
her when opportunity-for service was
present. She did not wait but sought
opportunity to render service and in
it she found great joy. When the
last hour came she was resgnedly
feeling that her Heavenly Father
knew best. Her way was clear Hav-
ing served faithfully she anticipated
the reward beyond. We think Of her
as one who fully knows what Jesus
meant when he said, Come unto me
all ye who are weary and | will give
you rest" May God bless and sus-
tain the bereaved husband and little
boys. REV. FRED s. ALTMAN.

REV. s. III. SMITH.

Missionary Baptist to Do Work in
Seattle Among AfrO-Americans-
Holding Series of Meetings IA
Present in Young Naturalists'
Hail With Large Attendance.
Rev. S. II. Smith, a missionary
Baptist, who has been in CORE
spondence with Mr.. r. A. Clark
and others for some time, relative
to coming to this point with the
view of taking up the Baptist
work in Seattle and the surround
ing country, is now in the city,
and is holding a series of meetings
at the Young Naturalists' Hall,
Rev. Smith is very favorably
spoken of by the Pacific Baptist,
a paper published in the interest
of that denomination and repre-
senting the entire Pacific coast,
for having built most excellent
church edifce at Fresno, Cal, for
the colored folk, and for having
done other missionary work of
much value to the Baptist organ
ization, both In Texas and along
the Pacific slope. At the compile
ton of the Fresno cuhrch the Cal
ifornia papers one and all spoke
in the highest terms of the work
that had been done by him. Mr..
Smith came to Seattle not only at
the solicitation of Mr.. Clark, but
at the earnest solicitation of many
of the leading pastors of this city,
and likewise at the solicitation of
the missionary board, whose SUI
perintendent is located in Oregon.
All of these were of the opinion
that Seattle was quite field for
missionary work for an energetic
colored Baptist preacher, and
they did all they could to get Mr..
Smith to come here for that pur-
pose. He will look the field over
very thoroughly during his ten or
twelve days stay here, holding a
series of revival meetings, and if
he concludes there is a sufficient
following to warrant him taking
up the work, and if he likewise
concludes that the people in gen
eral are satisfied with him, he
may decide to cast his lot in this
city. Rev. Smith gives evidence
OF being modest and refined
gentleman and one that will make
friends in any community wher-
ever he might cast his lot, and
The Republican predicts that if
he stays ten days both he and his
congregation will be so well pleas
ed with each other that he will
continue to stay in Seattle.
