Obituary
At his residence near Fairfield, this county, Thursday March 28, 1889, at 10 o'clock a.m., Rev. D. M. Keene, aged 64 years.
The deceased, who was the father of Dr. J. M. Keene, of this city, has been well known, prominent and highly respected in Marion county since its early days. He came to Oregon from Tennessee in 1847 and purchased the donation land claim upon which he died, one mile east of Fairfield, from Mr. Lawton, brother-in-law of W. J. Herren. He has lived there constantly since. He was a minister in the Cumberland Presbyterian church, and, while he was not an itinerant preacher at any time, he conducted services at various places in Yamhill and Marion counties, his labors of recent years being divided principally between Fairfield and Woodburn. He was know and recognized as a good and true man in every respect. His wife, who was a sister of Mrs. J. B. Bridges, of this city, died two years ago this month.

Keene and Miller.--Passed by Oregon Presbytery April 13, 1889: Whereas, God in his good, though to us mysterious, providence, has since the last session of this presbytery removed by death two of our beloved brethren, namely, the Revs. D. M. Keene and S. S. Miller; therefore be it
   Resolved, 1. That this presbytery bow in humble and obedient subjection to the will and pleasure of the great Head and King of the church, recognizing that he who alone has the right to call and send forth laborers into his great white harvest field, has a right to call them from labor to reward at his own good pleasure.
   2. That in the death of these two brethren, the presbytery has sustained a very great loss, not only in their wise and friendly counsels as presbyters, but our loss will be deeply felt in that we shall no more hear their voices from Zion's walls, nor have the sweet comfort of their brotherly associations in the walks of life.
   3. That this presbytery tender its hearty sympathy to the bereaved families and friends of the deceased.
   4. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to each of the bereaved families of these dear brethren, that a copy be sent to the CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN for publication, and that this preamble and resolutions be spread upon the minutes of presbytery, and that a memorial page be set apart to the memory of the deceased.
                                         T. H. SMALL, Mod.
                                         B. F. MOODY, Cl'k.
