Mrs. Adelaide L. Hall, aged a little more than 82 years had lived most of her life in Gratiot County and had been a faithful member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church over sixty years. The writer was called to conduct the funeral service on June 7, assisted by the church elder, Glenn Bugbee. Sister Hall was a sister of our church clerk of Ithaca, Mrs, Bertha Day.
We “sorrow not as others which have no hope,” for “blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.”
“He sees their footsteps falter,
When their hearts grow weak and faint;
He marks when their strength is failing,
And listens to each complaint.
He bids them rest as for a season,
For the pathway has grown too steep;
And folded in fair green pastures,
He giveth His loved one sleep.”
