full wife. There were born unto them
two sons, Daid and Delbret. The lat
ter died when little more than six
years old, the former with his wife
were at hand to help care for her dur
ing her recent illness She was con-
verted to Christ in early girlhood, and
has lived an earnest Christian life
She was conscientious and though with
the rest of humanity she was COM
passed with infirmities and doubtless
often erred in Judgment. She cared
but little for display or the conven-
tionalities of society, and the husband
and son carried out in the service, as
nealry as possible, her expressed de-
sires. There being no church of her
choice in Ridgeway, her conscience
would not permit her to unite with a
local church where she in so doing
might seemingly compromise her faith
so she with her husband have held
their membership with the Advent
Christianschurch of Burr Oak. She
peacefully fell asleep October ~. 1904,
hoping for a blessed awakening to
immortality at the coming of the Lord
Jesus Christ, aged 20 years. 2 months
and 26 days. She leaves to mourn her

the hope of the Gospel of Christ.
