L. Butler left the tenement of clay to be forever with the Lord. Sister Butler was born February 12, 1857; was converted when a child and joined the Church. She was the light of the home. She loved her church, and was at her post as often as she could. We miss her. She leaves eight children, an aged mother, one sister and brothers to mourn for her. On the sad, cold, dark evening of February 5, 1899, we laid her remains to rest in the family graveyard to wait the resurrection morn. Weep not, dear loved ones, we will meet her again. S. N. ALLEN.
