Died Aug. 15, 1887, at St. Louis, Mich., after a long and painful illness, the result of an injury sustained a number of years ago, Bro Cornelius Holiday, in the 65th year of his age. Bro. Holiday embraced the doctrines of present truth over thirty-five years ago, under the labor of Eld. Frisbie, after which he removed to Gratiot county, then an almost unbroken wilderness, his family being the only Sabbath-keepers in that county for a number of years. He seemed fnlly aware of the fact that his pilgrimage was nearing its close, and often expressed himself as reconciled to die, believing that all would be well. The soon coming of the Saviour to raise immortality to the sleeping saints—the Christian’s hope—was an anchor to his soul both sure and steadfast. He leaves a wife and eight children to mourn, but not as those without hope.
