From Yesterdays Wheeling IntelligeneeI


INTELLIGENCE was received in this
city yesterday of the death at her home
at Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, yesterday morn
ing, of Mrs. Kate Thoburn, widow of
Joseph Thoburn. Mrs. ThOburn was
scarcely less widely known and beloved
for her own sake than because of the
universal veneration for the memory of
er, the late Rev. DR.. Benz. Mitchell, of
Mt. Pleasant. When the war broke out
Col. and Mrs. Thoburn were residents
of this city, where her husband was a
practicing physician. During his ser.
vice in the army and after his death the
family resided at Mt. Pleasant, but Mrs.
Thoburn subsequently resided in this
city for several years, at the Female Col
lege. She has been in poor health for
some time. She leaves a son, DR.. Mar
tin Thoburn, of Tennessee, and two
daughters, Miss May, who resided with
her at Mt. Pleasant, and a married
daughter who also lives in Tennessee
She was sister of Mrs. Rev. D. B. Up.
degraff of Mt. Pleasant, and leaves a
wide circle of family connections in this
vicinity.
The remains will be buried at o'clock
this afternoon, beside those of her late
husband, in Mt. Wood Cemetery, this
city. Her death will cause deep and
general sorrow where she was known.
She was the worthy eonsort of a noble
man, long severed by death, which now
re-unites them in better world.
