| esteemed friend Mr.. James r. Johnston
which sad event occurred on Saturday even.
ing the 26th, at between eight and nine o.,
clock For years Mrs. Johnston has been
suffering from dropsy, with only occasional
intervals Of alienation. In fact, so con.
stan,ly had she been harrassed by this ma.
ady, that It might have been truly said that
life had for her but few attractions. During
the last three months her illness increased
rapidly, eliminating in her death. The fu.
neral took place on Sunday afternoon At
four o'clock, from the residence Of the fam.
iIy, and was very largely attended. The
services we're conducted by Rev. Henry
Wallace, Of Davenport The remains were
inferred 8. Chippianock Cemetery. The
deceased was native Of Butler county,
Pennsylvania, aud expired in her forty.
eighth year. During the greater part of her
life, and up to the time of her death, she
was a consistent member of the .nited
Presbyterian church, and during a residence
OF nearly sixteen years in our city, by the
regular practice Of christian virtues, en-.
deared herself to large circle of now sor.
rowing friends. She leaves two children.
She was good wife and mother-the high.
