DIED.

In this city, Tuesday, May 3lst, of pneu-
monia, Mrs. Lucy A., wife of VIM. B. HAM
ilton.
Lucy A. Robinson, daughter of Beniah
and Jane Robinson, was born in Madison
County, ILL.,, on the 10Th day of February,
1888, where she resided with her parents
until March, 1853, when she was married to
jeremiah Job, and in few months after
wards removed with her husband to Cali
fornia, where she resided until 1860 In
that State was born to her three children,
one Of whom died in infancy, the other two,
Zephin and Beniah R., still survive her and
are now both settled in business in this city
and well and favorable known to our read
ers. In 1860, her husband having recently
died, Mrs Job came to live with her father,
who had formed new home, and surround
ed himself with friends in this county, and
she has since resided IN our midst.
In February, 1868, she was married ito
VIM. B. Hamilton, of this city, who now
mourns her loss. Few of the ladies of our
city were better known and none more uni
versally beloved and respected than her in
whose memory these lines are penned. In
society she was an ornament, and in the
home circle she was the beloved and affec-
tionate wife, mother and daughter. Her
aged mother, now in her seventy eighth
year, survives her.
On Tuesday, the oath, she was not feel
ing well but attached no Importance to the
indisposition until near midnight, when she
was taken much worse and a physician call
ed, but human skill could not stop the ap-
proach of the last enemy and she gradually
but certainly approached the shores of the
other world, and on last Tuesday evening
just as the sun was setting, peacefully and
happily her soul winged its fight to the spirit
land Her death has left desolate once
happy home. But her friends mourn her
not as those without hope, for her life had
been constant Christian one, and her death
was triumph of her faith.
The funeral was from the family residence
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, the funeral
address being by Rev. A. Simpson, who q
little over thirteen years ago was the off.
eating clergyman at her marriage with her
now grief-stricken husband.

Worth Living For.

1t IS said that when Mrs. Garfield had
one day been reading an account Of the
intense excitement and public indigna,
ton all over the country at the iendish
attempt at assassination, the President
reached out his hand to her, and said, 1T
is people worth dying for, isn't it @
"No." she replied, shut it is a people
worth living for" The American people
are truly people worth living for. James
a. Garfield, as a citizen, was no more to
the people than thousands, Of others, but
as President Of the United States, he was
their representative head, and the blow
aimed at his life was also aimed at the
heart of the nation.
