sOHAEFER--Att the residence Of her husband
on H. Market street on Sunday the 1Ilh Inst, Mfn
CatlAline Anna echaeleE, IN the l9th year OF her
life.
The deceased sister wasA native Of Savannah,
Ga, where she was born March %, 1881. She was
the daughter Of Rev. Stephen A. Mealy OF the Ev.
Luth. Church, and his wife Mrs. Catharine A.
Mealy. Her parents came with their daughter 70
Ohio In the year 1874, and after remaining ayear
or two at Zanesville settled in Canton where they
resided the balance OF their lives. During visit
to Philadelphia she was married 10 Louis schae'
fer, ESQ., Of this city on the 10Th Of May lS4s the
fruits ,of which union were two daughters and
one son. Her father died many yeAn ago in this
city, and her mother in ripe old age only few
years since. The youngest daughter Of Mr.. and
Mfs schaeier died short time before her grand
mother. Mrs, Mary Day and Louis sehaeier, Esq.,
IT,. with their stricken father, remain to mourn
the loss OF devoted mother and faithful wife.
MIS- schaefer suffered much for number ofyears
ast from acute neuralgia trouble in her head,
and for the past two years almost constantly, A
few weeks ago she went to spend a little time at
Lake ChatauQua In the State Of New York hoping
for recreation and rett and for some relief nom
her sufferngs, At first she seemed much improV'
ed, but during the last week Of her stay she was
attacked with congestion OF the lungs, on account
Of which she was compelled to send for her nus
band to bring her home, Arriving home extreme
ly Ill on last Thursday, she continued in great
suffering until Sunday afternoon when deatn
came calmly TO her relief Kind and devoted
friends minisered all that was possible for her
comfort and restoration, but all without avail.
The funeral services we're held at Mr. schaefer's
residence on Tuesday afternoon, and the very
large concourse Of people assembled testified to
the high esteem In which the deceased was held
In this community 'a.
As q wife and mother she was ever faithful,
devoted and kind delighting chiefly in promot'
ing the happiness and welfare Of all the inmates
of her cherished home AZ member OF society
she was ever courteous and affable, aud drew
about her large circle Of devoted friends who
best knew and appreciated her worth. AS
Christian believer, though making no loud public
profession, we have reason to be assured that
baptized in her infancy she relied in life on her
Savior, and died in the faith Of the Saints. Her
dear ones left behind are full Of grief; her friends
and theirs most deeply sympathize with them IN
their sorrow, but may we not all rather rejoice IN
the conviction that our loss has been to her an
eternal gain The memory Of her worth remains
and this should move us ever to emulate her Vir'
tues and to live truer and better lives before God
and man, .
After appropriate services where Rev, D. Worley
preached discourse from lst Cor, 10, b5'b7, the
earthly remains Of the deceased sister were con-
veyed to the Cemetery and the mournful service
Of the church was read over them before being
consigned to the narrtw house appointed for all
the living. She sleeps in Jesus awaiting the
awakening Of the just on the resurrection morn
ing when we confidently believe she will in body
and soul reunited, stand forever in the presence
Of her Lord and be partaker Of the glory Of His
own Immortality
