In Salem, W. Va., Jan. 17, 1889, Dr. John L. F. Randolph, aged 84 years, 2 months, 23 days.
Doctor Randolph was noted for firmness in his convictions of right and his strict honesty. He made a profession of religion in early life, and joined the New Salem Church when about fifty years of age, of which he was a member at the time of his death. He leaves a companion and a number of children with many relatives to mourn his death. He is the father of our missionary to China, Bro. G. H. F Randolph. May the Heavenly Father comfort the surviving ones.
J. L. H.
