DEATHS Thursday last was q
day long to be remembered in our town
on account Of the number of deaths which
occurred. About ten o'clock the intclli-
gcncc of the sudden death of Mrs. John w.
Payne, residing about 2! miles from this
place, ON what is known rs Payncs Hill,
was announced. Mrs. Payne had been
sick more or less all winter, but at no time
considered dangerous, although she was
constantly in the care of Il doctor. On the
day above mentioned she was engaged
sewing in her room, with no one about
save Il little girl, when she was attacked
with heart disease and died in very short
time. Her husband, who was absent in II
/ field close Ivy entered the house and found
her lying i'll bed, apparently asleep, but
alas, she was Gcal. DR.. White, Of this
place, who was her physicin called at the
house on his daily rounds, a few minutes
after her death, and upon examining the
body pronounced life extinct and caused
by heart disease. Her remains were taken
to Frederick on Saturday and inferred
there. Mrs. Payne was Il consistent mem
Der of the Methodist church and was high
/ ly spoken of rs Il true christian lady.
In the afternoon, about half past two
O'Clock, Uncle Peter Rouzer lied AT the
residence of his daughter, Mis- Joseph
Freeze. Although it was generally con-
coded that he would not last great while'
yet his death on that day was rather I'M
expected Uncle Peter was in his SIT"
year and up to Il few months prior to his
death he was rs active as any young man.
HIS latter days, however, were full of sui
| tcrng and pain as he was unable to lie
down with any ease, His funeral took
place on the following day at Apples
church and was largely attended by rcla-
| tivcs and friends, Of the latter he had Il
great many.

and was largely attended hy relatives and
! friends, also the |. o. of G.. +. of which he
/ was a member Ills remains were inferred

church. Thus it will be seen that our aged
citizens are gradually passing from this
! lit. and those well known faces which
