tits with profound sorrow we
chronicle the sad news of Miss

which occurred at Clarksburg
Friday, March 25, 1893. She was
the only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. T. Weible. of this place, aged
81 years IL months and II days.
Miss Weible while visiting IN Al.
legheny. Pa. last August, was
taken i'll with typhoid fever. She
was brought to her home in this
place in October. but never re-
covered from the effects of the
fever. At the time of her death
she was in Clarksburg under a
physicians care. Everything
was done by the loving friends
that could possibly be, to relieve
her suffering and prolong her life
but she was beyond all medical
aid. She was a true Christian
and her life was one of the purest
Of lives. She leaves a father and
mother, and one brother and a
number of dear friends, who
deeply mourn her loss, while we
feel and realize it is our loss, it
is her gain. Her life was fully
consecrated to Christ, and while
We deeply sympathize with the
bereaved friends. we can only
command thorn In God tho Faith.
