We will publish an obituary of the deceased in our next issue. The Portland Observer, Wednesday, January 21, 1885 Mr. N. Outwater, whose death was announced in the last issue of the Observer, was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, on February 25th, 1814. At the age of 18 he removed with his parents to Wilson, Niagara County, N.Y., where he remained until 1860. During that year he moved with his family to Portland, Michigan where he has since resided until his death last week, making almost 25 years that he lived in this place. He leaves six children, all of whom are married and have homes of their own. Mr. Outwater was always a man of strict honesty and integrity of character, believing the golden rule to “Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you.” Some ten years ago he began to study the doctrines of the seventh day adventists, and was soon led to accept of them and henceforth lived a christian life and died in the triumph of a living faith. He fulfilled the scriptural measure of threescore and ten years, and there we leave him for the great hereafter. Albert Outwater, of St. Marys, Ohio came to Portland last Wednesday to attend the funeral of his father in this place.
