He had taken his seal in the Tabernacle to listen lo preaching, but feeling faint, arose and proceeded across Circle No. 2, toward his tent, before reaching which he sank down exhausted and bled profusely. He was conveyed into a neighboring tent, and medical aid summoned, but nothing could he done for his relief, and within fifteen minutes, he breathed his last. He had been in feeble health for some years. On Thursday of last week, he removed to his tent on the campground, expecting to derive benefit, from a residence of a few weeks in the woods, but his Heavenly father had prepared a more glorious home for him in the Paradise above, and now he is with the redeemed in that better country. Camp Daily, of Friday. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 1.5 Kb
