On the 3d of July last Mrs. T. C. Palmer Steward passed away to her rest, leaving behind a devoted husband and three young children. She was born in Windham, Portage Co., Ohio, August 10th, 1839. She commenced teaching school when fourteen years of age and was graduated from Lake Erie Female Seminary, Painesville, Ohio, July, 1862, having secured her education largely through her own efforts. In October, 1866, she was commissioned by the A. M. A. as a teacher among the Freedmen, and for ten years continued to labor in the South under its direction, being at Chattanooga two years, at Marion four years and at Fisk University four years. In 1868 she was married to Hon. T. C. Steward, who was stationed at Marion, Ala., in charge of the work of the Association. Mr. Steward took an active part in the work of reconstruction in Alabama, and in the most trying and dangerous period in the political history of the State, after the war, represented his district in the legislature. In those times of imminent peril Mrs. Steward stood unflinchingly by her husband’s side and manifested the highest qualities of true Christian heroism. In 1876 Mr. and Mrs. Steward retired from the service of the A. M. A. and moved to Chattanooga, Tenn., where Mrs. Steward’s death occurred in their new and pleasant home on the crest of Missionary Ridge. Mrs. Steward was a remarkably efficient and successful teacher, and a most devoted and earnest Christian worker. DEATH OF REV. G. W. WALKER. DIED.—At Centreville, Pa., August 23, 1881, Rev. G. W.

Of Mr. Walker it may be said, without biographical exaggeration, “A good man has fallen in Israel.” As a man, he was quiet, modest, unostentatious, affable and gentlemanly. Sustaining to him the close relation of class-mate for three years, the writer cannot remember a harsh or unkind word as ever having fallen from his lips. As a Christian, he was always calm, serene, happy. His piety seemed like the flow of some sweet, peaceful river. The same traits of character he carried into the ministry. As a preacher, he was Scriptural, earnest and impressive. He was true and faithful to his trust, no flatterer, but outspoken. As a pastor, he endeared himself to all by his gentle manner and lively sympathy. He labored very successfully for a few years in the service of the American Missionary Association. In lowliness and self-abnegation he toiled faithfully, earnestly, for souls wherever the Master placed him, and his memory will not soon be forgotten by his intimate friends, and especially by those who were hopefully saved through his instrumentality. He bore his sickness with a sweet, Christian patience, his greatest trial being that he was deprived of working in the service of Him whom he loved.
