    In Harrison, Nebraska, Jan. 7, 1890, of cancer, Deacon Prentice C. Main, in the 84th year of his age.
    The deceased was born in the State of New York, and when quite young gave his heart to God, and embraced the seventh day as the sanctified Sabbath of the Lord. He lived a consistent Christian, was a dear companion and loving father. For several years he had been a great sufferer from cancer, though with patience untold. He leaves behind him to mourn his loss seven children – five daughters and two sons, besides brothers and sisters, while he has gone to join his dear companion and other loved ones in that home eternal. He had expressed himself as anxious and ready to go, and when the death angel came, passed away as in a quiet, peaceful sleep, and without a struggle. The funeral sermon was preached by Elder Lusk, of the M. E. Church, and his remains were laid beside his two little grandchildren, who preceded him by only a few months. Thus they lie side by side in the grave-yard, the aged and the young, waiting the appearing of the blessed Christ. S. L. R. M.
