Mas. RUrH STRoSa.-Qn Wednesday,
uidrning last oreufred the hesth of Mrs.
Ratb Strong, RESET of sambsE Strong, de-
eeased, ii her SSH year. tAlehough long
an invalid she had Of late been approach
ing her dissolution with more than usual
progress, and at half-past three Of the
morning of Wednesday the sands of life
were so completely run out, and vitality
wasted, that deaiA ehsaed Nithoata pang

hadstion and dropping to restiul slumber.
The deceased was one of the early pioneers
of this town, having taken up her residence
here in the year 1910, when it was but an
unbroken wilderness. She was married
and moved, with her husband, upon the
place where her days were ended, IL the
1913. thus 66 years OF life were spent ipn
the SANG SPOT TIE hrs bHode Of thsfan-
BY was q isg house sOppesael the present
house, and this was the last house between
Ashtabula and Painesville on the North
Ridge. Mrs. Strong was lady of much
prominence of character. To kind and
gentle nature, which endeared her to fami-
ly, friends and society, she united a remark
able mental clearness aud memory re
tehtiYe. toitenacity. Her mind was stored
with the early and continued history of
Ashtsbula and its settlers, more richly,
perhaps, than any of her cotemporary set
tiers. OF this the columns OF the TELE-
GRAPH have borne ample testimony, and
many who have enjoyed her society have
felt the charm of her conversation in the
recital of stories and experiences Of the
past. Her mental qualities were adorned
by her strong faith and reliance upon Him
whom she served with an ever thoughtful
devotion, that moulded her character and
blended with every phase Of her being.
Her memory will live in the church as we'll
as in the hearts of friends and neighbors.
The family of Mrs. Strong consisted Of
ten children-six daughters and four sons;
of whom the latter still live. The virtues
Of the mother strongly marked the char
acters Of her descendants, and made the
family one Of more than ordinary intelli
genee and wholesome citizenship.
The funeral will be attended from the
late residence Of the deceased on Friday, al
101z o'clock a. m. and at the Congregation,
