WE regret to announce the deaths of Mr. Alexander Livingstone, merchant, Fernabeg, Applecross, and Mr. John Fraser, Balgie, Shieldaig.
Mr. Livingstone, who died on Wednesday the 20th of May, was a public witness for the cause of Christ for many years. He was an attached and useful member of the Free Presbyterian Church since its formation. He was a prominent figure at the Friday fellowship meetings. Being situated about half-way between Shieldaig F.P. Church and Applecross F.P. Church, thus being a long distance from either, he regularly kept meetings on Sabbath in his own house up to the time of his illness. His removal causes a great blank which will not be easily filled up. His remains were interred in the Applecross burying ground on Friday the 22nd May.
Mr. John Fraser, Balgie, was a private, genuine, unassuming Christian. His services for the cause of Christ were more in private than public. He died on Tuesday the 12th inst., and his remains were interred in Annat burying ground on Friday the 15th inst.
We hope that a fuller account will be given of these worthy men in a future magazine. We would desire to express our deep sympathy with the sorrowing relatives.
“Help, Lord! because the godly man
Doth daily fade away,
And from among the sons of men,
The faithful do decay.”
