Lucinda A. Raley, daughter of III W.
and Hannah Rice, and wife OF j. w.
Raley, of Ohio county, died March 3lst,
1880, at the age of 80 years. This ex-
cellent lady was loved by all who knew
her. She joined the Christian church
about four years ago, and lived devO-
ted Christian up to her death. She was
a kind mother, and was never known
To speak unkindly Of any one. Her
virtues and personal character and In
telligence were Of the highest order.
She was prudent, generous and affec-
tionate wife, mother, sister and friend.
Her departure frum earth was very
sudden, and was a crushing blow to her
bereaved husband and children. Her
purity of character, gentle manners
and kindness of heart have left her
memory embalmed i'm the hearts of
many who sigh and shed tears over her
early death. In mercy to her, we trust
God has granted her exemption from
the trials of life and rests with loved
ones Who have proceeded her In the
home on the justified. No feeling per-
son can regard the removal of this kind
woman from earth to the realm OF
spirits without awful contemplation OF
the mysteriousness of divine appoint
ment, or without sympathy for mourn
ing husband and children. The bereaved
husband and children have the sympa-
thy Of the entire community.
