Death of Mrs. sturges.

The following sketch of the late
Mrs. Sturges has been furnished the
Oxford Press by Mrs. Shippers, whose
relations with the family are near.
Mrs. Mercy Sturges, wife of the
late Geo. Sturges, of Philada., died
at her residence, 18th and Wallace
streets, on the 25th inst. Mrs.
Sturges was a native of Cecil county,
Md. Her maiden name was Moore,
and she was q sister of William W.
Moore, one of Cecil's prominent
citizens. Mr.. and Mrs. Sturges, had
however, resided in Philadelphia
near half century. She leaves be
hind her three daughters. The
eldest, Mary, being the wife of DR..
Charles Essig, prominent dentist of
Philadelphia, and President of the
Dental College; the youngest, Jennie,
is married to Charles Deacon, we'll
known newspaper man and member
of the Glover Club the second
daughter. Georgiana, is unmarried
and resided at home with her mother.
Joseph Sturges, her only SON, also
resides in the Quaker City.
Mrs. Sturges had passed her 80th
birthday but enjoyed excellent health
until within few weeks ago when
stricken with pneumonia. She was
woman of superior mental gifts
and kept abreast of the times, and
was fully equipped for argument on
any and all the great questions of
the day. She enjoyed the love and
esteem of large circle of friends
both young and old, rich and poor,
all of whom will deeply mourn her
departure. Especially the poor, to
whom she was always ready to give
not only substantial aid but sound
advice and wise counsel.
In October last she visited her
childhood's home, near Colora. Cecil
county, Md. and Notwithstanding
her advanced age her friends did not
dream that she was with them for
the last time, so erect was her fine
form, SO cloudless her clear eye, and
80 mistaken her vigorous mental
constitution. And thus has passed
away one who was a noble type of a
nable race, the English Quakers who
settled in Southern Pennsylvania
and Northern Maryland in the early
history of these two colonies.
