DIED, at cloarfeld, Pa, suddenly,
February 9Th, 1878, Annie, youngest
daughter of Hon. Geo. R. Barrett,
aged % years, A months and 8 days.
The deceased was a sister of Mr..
Frank Barrett, of Winfield, Putnam
county. TheRepublican of that city
gives the following account of her
death:
"a deep gloom was cast over our
community last Friday evening, as
from lip to lip flew the sad intelli-
gence Of the sudden death of Miss
Annie Barrett.
awhile on her way, in company
with some friends, to small gather.
ing, chatting and laughing in all
her usual glee, she sank down on the
pavement insensible. She was i'm
mediately picked up ank carried in:
to the nearest residence; medical aid
was summoned; friends gathered
around her; but death claimed an
other trophy, and in q few short
minutes the laboring breast ceased
to heave and the struggling heart
beat its last pulse. No word spoken
no return of apparent conscious
ness TO sign the earthly parting.
"Thus has passed away one who,
just budding into womanhood, was
esteemed by all who knew her, and
beloved by all who were intimate.
Left motherless while in girlhoods
years, she, with a woman's heart and
child's affection, assumed her moth,
er's place in the household cares, and
thought no duty too great which con-
tributed to the comfort of her fathers
family. Among the poor, she prac.
ticed the lessons she early learned
from her mother, and many are the
poverty stricken ones her pleasant
words and substantial acts have made
to rejoice. No brighter evidence of
this need be had than to have wit
messed the sorrowing hearts of the
poor, who gathered the morning after
her death at the home where they
had so often experienced the kind
ness Of her heart. But that warm
heart that throbbed for others woes
has ceased to beat; that hand which
was ever extended in charity lies
quiet across her breast, and that
voice which was ever the Joy Of eve
ry circle is hushed in death. Truly,
a bright gem has been taken from
our social circle here to join the an
gelic host above. While the light
which has illumined the family cir
Gle has gone out with flash, and a
moro than midnight gloom has cast
its nall Ger every heart, the Episco-
pal church, of which she was a con-
sistent member, has lost one OF its
earnest workers.
"No word Of ours can tighten the
shadow on the hearts SO sadly bereft.
Gods grace alone is sufficient, and
TO His lovingcare we commend them.
