Obituary
Emiline S. HARRIS, born August 13, 1808, in state of New York,
died June 22, 1889, at the home of her daughter Mrs. Rev. A. T.
WILKINS, near Lake City, Iowa. She was converted in 1882 and has
been a member of the church for fifty-six years. The funeral
services were held Sunday afternoon, June 23, at the Cottonwood
Church. Sister HARRIS died in great peace having been a
consistent Christian. She had triumph in death. She said to her
daughter, "the other world is a mystery to some people but
to me it is very bright and there is a shining path which leads
to glory." She remarked to her son-in-law, 'I am almost
home, I shall be so glad when it is all over and I am at
rest." Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His
saints. E.G.S.
