LOOFBORO.
- Early in life, Mr. LOOFBORO accepted Christ as his

- was baptized into the fellowship of the Seventh Day Baptist
church at Welton, Iowa. His life has been a demonstration of
his Master's spirit and purpose. He has always tried to illustrate
the principles of the christian standard. While living in Rhode
Island it was largely due to his enthusiasm and persistent efforts
that services in the little church at Dunn's Corners were maintained.

FURROW. They began
- their home life at and lived for some time in Boulder, Colorado.

of Providence, R.I., and Donald, who lives at home.
- On April 26, 1907, Mr. LOOFBORO was married to Mrs.
Mertie MILLS of
- Milton Junction, Wisconsin. They removed to Rhode Island
where they made their home until about one year ago when they
returned to Milton. Upon their return they united with the
Milton Seventh Day Baptist church.

his aged mother, whose
- home is with her daughter in Milton, and three sisters, -
Mrs. Stella BOSS of Milton, Mrs. Sadie WEST of

California.
- Friends and relatives gathered at his late home on Tuesday
afternoon, September 21,
- to pay their tribute of respect and affection to the departed.
