/ DEATH OF Mrs. CHARLOTTE A.
STRAfTH. Died, April 9Th, at Oakenwold,
the residence Of Capt. T. D. Ransom, Mrs.
Charlotte Alexander Straith, widow Ct
DR.. John Straith, a distinguished surgeon
in the Confederate army. whose hattering
promise of useful life was cut short by
an early death. Mrs. Straith was the last
Of q family OF four or five who have all
gone before her-her sister Mrs. T. D..
Ransom. having Just preceded her by a
short month Mrs. Straith was fifty years
of age, a woman of very superior mental
endowments, and of great sweetness of
disposition which rendered her fayorite
in the circles she adorned. For some
years she had lived with her sister, Mrs.
Ransom, whose children, during their
mothers decline, found in her the love
and Kindness they were so soon to be de-
.prived of.
The void thus made in the social and
religious circles in which this lady moved,
will long remain untitled, and the inscruta-
bic DEGREES of Providence that have thus
so rudely snapped the sweetest of family
ties, will long remain a mystery to those
left behind, though they are doubtless
kno%n and admired by those two sisters,
who were lovely in their lives and in their
deaths were not long divided.
The body will be buried at Charlestown,
Jefferson county. W. Va, where rest the
ashes Of her husband aud two children.
