at the residence of her husband, in this town,
on Monday evening last, in the 29th year Of
her ago. Deceased was the daughter of the
late John McCauley and Rachel Shippers,
and had been married about eight years.
She joined the Ellton II. L. Church, while
it was under the pastoral care Of the Rev.
l.. {. Matlack, some years ago, and added
the luster OF Il Christian life and character
to her naturally amiable and cheerful dispo-
sition, which endesred hsr to all who knew
her. We tender her bereaved husband our
sincere sympathy in this dark hour Of sor-
row and bereavement.
Her funeral took place On Thurslay after

saw in Elkton. Rev. d. c. Ridsway de-
hvered the funeral discourse, in the NJ T..
Church, and was assisted by ltevs. Vaughan
Smith and w. w. Heberton. Her remains
were inferred in the new cemetery.
