Death of Mrs. R. B. Thurber

We must report the sad news of the death of Mrs. R. B. Thurber, wife of Elder R. B. Thurber, of Burma. On account of his wife's illness, Elder Thurber was compelled to bring his family to America early this year. Sister Thurber received every care, but, unable to rally, fell asleep on the eve of the Sabbath, October 27, at Takoma Park. Only a few days before her death she spoke of her work in Burma, saying: “I love the people in Burma, and should like to go back there and work for them again.” Our sympathy is with Elder Thurber, the four children, and other sorrowing relatives. Sister Thurber was a faithful missionary, and her grave, though in Michigan, will stand as a memorial to her love for souls in Burma. Elder Thurber is a member of the faculty of Emmanuel Missionary College, at Berrien Springs, and will continue his work there.
