apOplexy, Mrs. Carrie r., wife OF Johh Lahni'
Esq, OF this city.
The deceased was born In Canton on the I5u OF
September, 1894, and was at the time OF her deatn
aged 10 years, months and lS days.
She was married to John Lahm on the 27th OF
September, 1853, and was the mother OF nVe chi l.
rem three sons and two daughters. all of whom are
still living, and with the stricken husband ana
father mourn the loss they have sustained.
The death of Mrs. Lahm was very sudden and
startling to the community. Although not III her
usual health for several weeks, she was not taken
down with sickness until the Wednesday evening
preceding her death. And even on Frlday sue
felt able to BE- up and about tho house. ana only
remained In bed at the earnest solicitation Ot her
husband.
On Friday night some dangerous symptoms
made their appearance, but not such as TO cause
any special apprehension, until about three hours
before her death when serious efectton OF the
brain was clearly developed, which terminated In
apoplexy
Mrs. Lahm was very extensively and favoraoly
known in this community. She was woman
who had but few enemies and very many friends
She possessed, in a very large measure those
Qualities of mind and heart which hrow the
charm of real excellence and worth around lhe
female character She was loving and afecton-
ate In her disposition; pleasing and ahable IN her
manner true aud trusting in her Friendships a
good neghbor; most devoted wife, and fond
loving mother.
In her was fulfilled solomon's idea of avirtuous
woman.
"The heart of her husband doth safely trust In
her; she will do him good and not evil all inc
days of her life; she openeth her mouth with WIS.,
dom, and In her tongue Is the law OF Kindness;
she ooketh well to the ways of her household and
eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children
arise up and call her blessed; her husband also
and he Dralseth her."
Such life as hers Is not withoutits lessons, and
shall not go unrewsrded.
The funeral on Monday afternoon was very
largely attended by sympathihng friends and ac'
quaintances of the family. The religious services
were conducted by Rev. l.. NJ kuhns, pastor oil
the English Lutheran Church, OF which she was
regular attendant and IN which she manifested
very great interest
GE1sER-on the Sth inst. Of consumption, Mrs.
Jane Geiger, in the 10th year OF her age.
Mrs. Geiger was twice married. Her first hus-
band was David Risher, known to many Of the
older citizens of this place By this marriage she
had three children, one Of whom Is still living
She was married to George Geiger on December
ODD, 1872. They had two children, one son and
one daughter, both of whom are living.
Mrs. Geiger became a confirmed invalid about
eighteen years ago, ssnce which time she has been
a constant sufferer and for the last ten years
especially her suierings have been very great
but she had come to bear them with wonderful
measure Of patience.
In early life she united with the Evangelical
Lutheran Church, and continued faithful mem
Der of the same to the time of her DEATH The con-
sistency of her unobtrusive piety made It's I'm
preston upon all who knew her. Her faith In
the saviour was strong and unWayering, and In
her sufIerings she looked forward laughingly TO
the time when He would take her home.
In frequent interviews with her during the past
six years, her pastor has always found her strong
in faith, waiting in readiness for the coming of
her Lord, and when at length the hour of her de-
parture came, her end was peace.
Her funeral took place on Sunday afternoon,
when an appropriate sermon was preached in the
English Lutheran Church. based upon the follow
ing text, OF her own selection:
"And he said unto me- my grace Is sufficient for
thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness
Most gladly will therefore glory in my infirml-
ties, that the power Of Christ may rest upon me,
Therefore take pleasure in infrmities, In neces
Sites in distreSses, for Christs sake; for when
when am weak am strong."-II Cor. L; 8, 10.
