CURED in Chatham on Saturday last, when
Mrs. Catherine Lewis, the widow OF a sol
dier and a pensioner, who was seventy
eight years old and had been a resident of
Chatham four years. died from joy. The
woman had lived in New Haven, Conn.
She had an only son who left home dur
ing the war OF the rebellion. and whom
she had not seen since. A short time ago
Mrs. Lewis received q letter from her son
saying he was on his way home to greet
her, after having searched nearly the whole
country to locate her. So many years alb
sence had not diminished the ardor OF her
mothers love, but the news of her sons
homecoming was so unexpected that it
threw her into a condition of nervous ex-
element that lasted for days.
Before she had recovered she received a
dispatch from her only child to the effect
that he was then on his way to see her and
would arrive soon.
Already i'll from excitement and anxiety
Mrs. Lewis became greatly asitated. A
few hours after she heard the whistle of
the locomotive as 1t sped by her home
bearing her long-lost son. The strain was
too much for the aged mother, and she
dropped dead from joy and excitement at
the prospect OF seeing her boy again. After
the son reached the house he was so shocked
at his mothers death that he has become
seriously i'll.
