Crook, the military commander of
the Department of the Platte.
TO large circle of loving friends
this announcement will prove
source of unfeign6d sorrow. The de-
ceased was noble type Of the purest
WOmanhOod. An atfectiOnatp wife,
devoted mother, and warm hearted
friend, she drew to her in AN attrac-
ton OF esteem and love all who met
her. AS an eXemplar of the trucst
and nOblest Christianity this dear old
lady's name will oft be quoted by
those among whom her memory will
not soon fade.
Mrs. Daley was rather advanced
in life, being SO years old, but it was
not until recently that she manifested
any great physical intirmity. and
even during her present illness such
was her buoyancy of spirits and
genial good nature that hopes for her
recovery were entertained up to the
final moment. She died in the full
possession of her mental faculties,
sinking into her rest like a babe fall
ing to sleep in its mothers arms. In
her last hours she was the recipient
of all the asSiduouS care that loving
hearts could suggest, or the most dis
tinguished medical knowledge sup
ply.
The Repu6Ijc0B believes it is only
echoing The opinions of all who knew
this kinl-hearted, Christian lady, in
EXPRESSING its unaffected sympathy
with the family in this great afflic-
ton. Although but a short time
among us, Mrs Daley had come to
be regarded as one Of ourselves such
was the high opinion in which all
held her who knew her. The an
upumctment of her death brought
numbers Of the representatives of
Omaha to tender their condolences to
her i1licted husband and family.
We understand that it is the inten-
ton to take the remains to Oakland,
Maryland, for interment.
The following paragraph is from
an extended editorial notice in the
Omaha HeraJd, Of the same date:
1t will be some Solace to her friends
who may read this notice to be in
formed that her last hours were
soothed by the devoted attentions of
those about her and by the eXper-
fenced knowledge of her medical adj
Viser3, Doctors Summers and Tilden
of the Army, who were unremitting
in their care. We tender to her be-
reav, d husband and afflicted family
the pledges OF heartfelt sympathy,
and while begging leave TO share their
sorrow, bid them not forget that she
has left the bright legacy ola pure
and unsuIlied Christian life for their
editication and example.
