SAYLOR.-On the 2d of June, l898, in Somerset Co., Pa., Bro. Norman, son of Bro. Jacob and Sister Catherine Saylor, met with a sad and fatal accident which was a shock to the family and to the whole community. He went out into the coal mine in the morning on his father's farm to dig coal and when he did not return for dinner his father went to look for him and found him dead under a piece of slate that broke down in the bank. We believe he was instantly killed. A loud warning again to prepare to meet our God. The age of the deceased was 15 years and 18 days. He had united with the church when 12 years of age and was a very faithful young brother in the church. He took an active part in the Sunday school as a teacher, but we believe God called him up higher to his final reward. We truly sympathize with the brother and sister in their sore bereavement. Not quite three years ago they lost their only daughter by a sad accident: she being shot by one of their neighbor's children. We are sorry to give up Bro. Saylor while yet so young and useful in life, but it would be still harder to see those taken away so suddenly who are not prepared to go. Funeral services were conducted at the Thomas M. H. by S. G. Shelter, Samuel Gindlesperger and L. A. Bough. Text, 1 Kings 18:12. "But I, thy servant, fear the Lord from my youth."
