Last Monday Miss Lydia West, the sixteen year old daughter of Jabez and Nancy West, died at Port Moody, B. C., of fever accompanied by symptoms of quick consumption. The body was brought to Blaine for interment by the sorrowing parents, who arrived on the Evangel this morning, with their family. The funeral service was held in the public school house at half-past ten o'clock this morning, Rev. A. WARREN preaching the sermon, after which the body was laid to rest in Mr. Cain's orchard, by the grave of Grandmother Cain. Mr. West is an immigrant, from Clear Lake, Wis., who came last fall to Port Moody, with his family, in a company of emigrants, including his brother, W. H. West, and Messrs. Walworth and Merrell, who came here a few weeks ago, on his way to this locality for the purpose of securing a new home. The entire party tarried at Port Moody for a while, and here Miss Lydia was taken sick. The young lady was very highly esteemed by her friends. She was a trusting Christian, and before her death she told her mother she was perfectly willing to go if it was the Lord's will. Friends here, who had been notified by telegraph, met the bereaved family at the steamer, and citizens here showed their sympathy by a full attendance at the funeral.
