We are called upon to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Jane Caggill, who
was born near Reeth, in the county
of Yorkshire, England, and died at
the residence of Mr.. Christopher
Caggill, of Linden, April Both 1885.
About two months ago Mrs. Caggill
with her husband and two children
came to Linden from England to
take care of Mr.. c. Caggill, in his
declining years. Last Tuesday, the
2Sth, ult., Mrs. Caggill did hard
days work, and in the evening was
taken sick, but she thought it would
not be anything serious, but on We'd
nesday the symptoms were more
alarming and on Thursday morning,
the doctor was sent for but it was too
late. The trouble (hernia) had
gone too far; inflammation had set in
in, and at half past two p. m. she
breathed her last. The funeral
services were held in the M. E.
church at Linden, conducted by
Rev. r. Burnip, the sympathy Of
the people is extended to the hus-
band, the fatherless children and
also to Mr.. Caggill in his declining
years, who, also is quite sick at this
writing who we sincerely hope will
soon be conyalescent. In the midst
of life we are in death.
