In North Loup, Neb., April 10, 1883, E. Randall Davis, in the 73d year of his age. Bro. Davis was a son of the late Rogers and Lois Davis, of Brookfield, N. Y. January 14, 1830, he was married to Miss Lucetta Williams of Verona, N. Y., with whom he lived happily for over fifty-three years, and who must now walk the remainder of the journey alone, without his aid and the comfort of his companionship. Two years after their marriage, Bro. Davis gave his heart to the Saviour, and was baptized by Eld. Eli S. Bailey, and united with the Second Brookfield Seventh day Baptist Church. Since that time he has been a member, successively, of the following churches: First Verona and Watson, N. Y.; Walworth, Wis.; Carlston, Minn.; and North Loup, Neb. In all these he has been a faithful servant of the Master. In his last days, though suffering considerably, he was peaceful and happy. He seemed like beautiful fruit ripening under the Autumn's sun, and we believe he is gathered with the Lord. 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.' G. J. C.
