for you in this operation. I do not like to perform it." He replied: "Doctor, I have a better home than this for which I am fully prepared, so go on with the operation; but there is just one request I want to make of you and that is, Get ready to meet me in heaven." His last audible words to his wife who stood by him just before the operation were: "Do not worry, dear, over anything. It is all peace and joy, peace and joy."


He died a very triumphant death, and as Mr. Wesley said of the early Methodists, "He died well."


His funeral services were held in the church in Kalkaska on Thursday, June 19, attended by a very large concourse of people, filling the church to its utmost capacity, attesting the high esteem in which he was held in that community. Rev. N. F. Jenkins preached the funeral sermon. A large number of his ministerial brethren were present, and his remains were interred in the cemetery at Kalkaska.


As it was said of one in olden time, "He was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and faith; and much people was added unto the Lord."


N. F. Jenkins.


HERBERT W. THOMPSON.


Herbert W. Thompson was born March 16, 1851, at Hudson, Ohio. He was converted at the age of 16. Soon after he felt his call to the ministry, but he hesitated until his Sunday School teacher suggested it. He took this as an answer to his prayer for human guidance. He immediately entered Albion College, preparatory to being admitted to the Michigan Conference in 1888. He was ordained an elder in 1893.


His marriage to Sarah Jennings occurred September 17, 1891. Two children, Gay and Leon, blessed this union. Both boys are now serving with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Bro. Thompson had waited keenly for the home-coming of his boys from the service.


He spent twenty-nine years of the best of his life in the Christian min- istry. He served these charges: Burr Oak, Kinderhook, Athens, Colon (where he was six years, the first in Michigan Conference to serve so long a pastorate), Coloma, Elk Rapids (six years), Centerville, Leslie. He re- tired in 1917 and settled at Leslie. Soon after the physical organism broke down. Last Decoration Day the collapse happened, just after attending the afternoon service, where he had made the day's convocation. From this time he suffered from high blood pressure and a partial paralysis. For a while he seemed to recover from the collapse but on Saturday, April 5, 1919, he passed to his reward.


Brother Thompson preached splendid sermons, feeding his people on the strong meat of the Word. On every charge gracious revivals attended his pastoral labors. He was an enthusiastic worker, a conscientious preacher, who was always looking for the opportunity to lead a soul into fellowship with the Master.

HERBERT W. THOMPSON.


The Funeral services were held in the church, Rev. H. Liddicoat, pastor, having charge. Dr. Hugh Kennedy, district superintendent of the Albion district, preached the sermon. Neighboring pastors attended the funeral as honorary pall-bearers. Interment was at Woodlawn cemetery in Leslie.


JOHN W. WHITE.


John W. White was born in Clear Lake, Ind., April 12, 1842, and God called him home from his earthly labors March 1, 1919, his age being 77 years. He came to Michigan with his parents when a small boy and lived in Three Rivers. In the year 1871 he was converted to Christ and united with the Methodist Protestant Church.


He was first married to Martha Bayn and to this union were born three children, Lenore, Fanny Belle and Wm. L., of whom only Wm. L. survives. Mrs. Martha Bayn-White passed away in 1913. Later he was married to Mrs Alice B. George, who had served several years as a minister's wife in the Michigan Conference.


For a few years Brother White was a minister in the Methodist Protestant church, from which communion he transferred to the Methodist

Episcopal church in the year 1873, and remained in the same until God called him home to meet his two brothers, Joshua and James, who had gone before, and who were also members of the Michigan Conference.


During his ministerial life in our church he served the following charges: Prairieville, Waukeshma, Burr Oak, Gilead, Cambria, Kinder- hook, Allen, Burlington, Bowne and Olivet. In the fall of 1889 he took a

supernumerary relation. In 1890 he supplied Coldwater circuit. In 1894 he was made effective again and served the following charges: Burlington, Butler, Osseo, Mosherville and Frontier. Then in 1904 he was superan- nuated, but supplied Burlington that year. The following four years he lived in retirement. In 1909 he was appointed to supply Leonidas and served there the next three years. For six months, during the last year of his life, he suplied as pastor on the White Pigeon charge.


Brother White was a man of conviction and was always loyal to the same. Through many years of sacrifice and service "he endured as seeing Him who is invisible."


The funeral services were held from the Methodist Episcopal Church, Constantine, conducted by B. C. Parks, the pastor, assisted by the other two pastors of the village, and the Methodist pastor at White Pigeon.


The body was taken to Albion, Mich, for interment where other mem- bers of the family rest.


There are left to mourn his death a widow, one son, Wm. L., and a host of friends made in the various fields of his ministerial life.

MRS. J. W. DAVIDS.


Alice Smith Davids was born at Phoenix, N. Y., July 27, 1857, and died May 20, 1919, at Albion. Her early life was spent at Phoenix until 1869 when she came with her parents to Michigan. Graduating from the high school in Greenville, she taught school several years.


She was united in marriage in October, 1884, at Columbia, South Dakota, to Rev. J. W. Davids. To this union were born eight children, five dying in infancy.


She was the daughter of a Baptist minister and was converted in early life and baptized by her father and became a member of the church. After their marriage they served the following churches: Coral, Lowell, Cedar Springs, Anoka, Minnesota, St. Paul; while here they lost four children with scarlet fever within ten days. They then came back to Michigan and served these churches: Stanton, Carson City, Kalamazoo, Homer, Muskegon, Decatur, Whitehall. Then they made their home in Charlotte for six years. Her husband preceded her to the heavenly home a year ago last February.


She was a devoted wife and mother, and an efficient co-laborer in the ministry. She loved the church and Sunday school and took a special in- terest in missions at home and abroad. While caring for a daughter in college she passed away after a brief illness.


She leaves to mourn her departure three daughters, Mrs. R. W. Keith, of Battle Creek, Mrs F. A. Wheeler, of Detroit and Mabel Davids who is attend- ing college at Albion.


There were two grandchildren, Dorothy and Mary Keith, and one sister, Mrs Emma Coldren of Hillsdale, and a host of friends.


There is no death, the stars go down, To rise upon some fairer shore. And brighten Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forever more.

MRS. JUDSON P. DURHAM.


Mrs. Flora Durham, wife of Rev. Judson P. Durham, of North Muskegon, was much beloved by all who knew her everywhere. Her friends were as many as her acquaintances. She was beautiful in her life and most devoted to her home, her church and to her Lord. She loved everybody. Her heart went out to the suffering and to all who had need of sympathy. The young people knew she loved them and yearned for their best good, and sorrowed if they were wayward, like a mother for her child.


Never did North Muskegon have a pastor's wife who was more es- teemed than she.

MEMOIRS


On Sunday, Nov. 17, 1919, she was in the center of activity in the church services and the Sunday School; before the following Wednesday night had come her Lord had opened the door of her heavenly home for her admission to the eternal glories and to the reward of the "faithful until death."


MRS. JUDSON P. DURHAM.


The funeral services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Revs. J. W. Vickers and Albert R. Elliott, in the church at North Muskegon on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 24, and she was buried in Oak Hill cemetery in Grand Rapids.

MRS. A. A. GEIGER.


On the afternoon of June 5 Mrs. Alice Agnes Gray Geiger, wife of Rev. Andrew A. Geiger. passed triumphantly from the life of faith to the blessed experience of the presence of Christ. For several years Mrs. Geiger has borne up heroically under the burden of failing health. Her intense love for her family, her eager loyalty to the Church, and her rare ability in young people's work kept her active when many would have given up to physical pain and exhaustion. Her history is the life-long record of Christian devotion to the needs and welfare of others. She was born in


582


MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE


[1919


Armstrong county, Pa., December 6, 1868. When she was fifteen her people came to live in Lake City, Mich. Here, two years later, the mother died and left a family of eight children. The oldest of these was Mrs Geiger, and upon her young shoulders fell the responsibility of mothering the seven younger children. Notwithstanding these heavy home cares she continued her educational preparation, graduating from the Lake City high school and attending the Ferris Institute at Big Rapids. After completing her training she taught school for three years. On December 28, 1889, she was married to Rev. Andrew A Geiger, then a local preacher, and a happy home life of nearly thirty years began. The first child, a son, died in early infancy. Four children remain to revere the memory of this devoted mother: Mabel Edith, Paul Harold, Dorothy Lucile and Robert Gray.


MRS. A. A. GEIGER.


The funeral was held at the Maple Street Church, Battle Creek, and was in charge of the district superintendent, Dr. J. R. T. Lathrop. Other minis- ters who took part in the service were Dr. Hugh Kennedy and Dr. M. M. Callen, representing the Michigan Conference; Rev. William H. Phelps, pastor of the Presbyterian church, who spoke for the City Ministerial Asso- ciation; Rev. F. E. George and F. H. Clapp, the Methodist pastors of the city. The service was pervaded with the spirit of Christian faith and was a fitting tribute to this noble and devout life. The many expressions of ap- preciative love and sympathy were most genuine and full of comfort. For over a quarter of a century Mrs. Geiger has shared with her husband in

the privileges and responsibilities of the ministry. Her devotion never lagged. Her service was eager and glad. Her intuitive discernment was uniformly dependable. Her spirit of self-forgetful love was most inspiring. She will be missed grievously, not only by the family but by the countless folks to whom her life has been a blessing. That fine tribute of St. Paul to the Christians at Phillipi is very expressive of the high esteem in which Mrs. Geiger was held and of the tender memories which will be cherished through the years: "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." F. H. Clapp.


MRS. H. M. JOY.


Jennie O'Hea was born in Abbey Mahon, County of Cork, Ireland, in the Month of July, 1846. When she was four years of age her parents decided to come to America. While on the way over her father and a brother died at sea. Her mother brought the remaining members of the family to Philadelphia, where the daughter, Jennie, grew to womanhood. Upon the death of her mother she came to Battle Creek, Mich., to live, where she later met and married the Rev. H. M. Joy, who at that time was a member of the Michigan Conference. In 1886 the Rev. Joy was trans- ferred to Indiana, and stationed at Greencastle, where shortly afterwards he met with a serious accident resulting in his death.


A son, H. M. Joy, was born to this union. After graduating in the school of medicine, and also taking post graduate work in Europe, Dr. Joy settled in Calumet, Mich., where he still lives. For the past eighteen years Mrs. Joy has made her home with her son. She was a lady of unusual culture and refinement, and was highly respected by her many friends in Calumet. After a short illness, although her recovery was fully expected, she passed away the morning of the twenty-sixth of February, 1919, in the triumphs of a living faith. Her remains were taken to Grand Rapids, Mich., and placed beside her husband there to await the glad Resurrection morn- ing.

MRS. W. W. JOHNSON.


Mary Hower was born in Columbia county, Pennsylvania, Dec. 10, 1826. She was converted in a large revival meeting in which her father, mother and brother were converted. She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church when thirteen years of age.


She was married to Rev. George King, of the Michigan conference, Nov. 10, 1846. He died October 27, 1850.


She married Rev. W. W. Johnson, also of the above named conference, October 13, 1863. With him she served in the itinerancy about six years when they located in the eastern part of the city of Grand Rapids. Brother Johnson died August 4, 1900. Their industry and frugality gained for them

a competency and they gave generously to the missionary society and Albion College.


Sister Johnson entered Clark Memorial Home August 7, 1907. From here she was translated to her eternal home January 7, 1919.


She had two step-granddaughters in whose affections she held the place of a real mother. She was devoted to her Lord and the highest ideals of life.


Funeral services were held at the Home, Thursday, January 9, con- ducted by Rev. Dr. John Graham, a lifelong friend.


MRS. R. M. MILLARD.


Estelle Rodgers Millard was born near Ronceverte, West Virginia, December 5, 1889. She joined the Methodist Church at the age of fourteen and lived a faithful and consistent Christian life till she was called to the Church triumphant which is without fault before the throne of God. She was educated in the public schools of West Virginia, the University of Chatta- noogo, West Virginia Wesleyan University and the Cincinnati Missionary Training School. She was united in marriage to the Rev. Richard M. Millard, of Athens, Tennessee, June 19, 1913, to which union one child, Richard M., Jr., now seven months old, was born. She went to her glorious reward from Battle Creek, Michigan, Feb. 2, 1919, leaving to mourn their loss her husband and son of Eaton Rapids, Michigan, her mother, Mrs James M. Rodgers, two sisters, Dessie and Mary, five brothers, Earl, Burton, Homer, Cecil, and Lester of Ronceverte, West Va. Mrs. Millard possessed a most pleasing personality which admitted her to a secure place in the hearts of a wide circle of admiring friends. Her sunny disposition radiated good cheer wherever she went. Her heart was the receiving station for all good deeds and high ideals. She was so Christlike and cosmopolitan in character as to become the friend of all. She was benevolent, gracious and forbearing. She was always considerate of others. Her culture and refine- ment made it easy for her to mingle among those of similar taste while her broad sympathy placed her at equal advantage among the lowly. Her Christian life was as bright and steady as the stars. Her faith knew no faltering. During the long weeks of critical illness and severe suffering not one word of complaint passed her lips. She saw everything in the light of God's will and calmly waited His order. When it came she was ready and unafraid. She could have said with Mrs Booth, "The waters are rising and so am I. I am not going under, I am going over." Or with Frances Willard, "How beautiful to be with God." Funeral services were conducted at Salem Church, near Ronceverte, West Virginia, and were at- tended by a host of friends, most of whom had known her from her happy childhood. Our dear and gracious friend, the minister's devoted and faithful wife, little Richard's beautiful and ideal young mother still lives.
