The sad and untlmely death OF Mrs..
DR.. Hufford, which occurred on
Thursday, the l4th day of the pres
ent month, cast gloom over our
community. The sad event was
wholly unexpected, except to
small number of people who had
heard of her sudden and dangerous
illness. In her death society loses
one OF its best members, aud home
is darkened and little children are
bereft CT an inestimable blessing.
We teel that more extensive notice
of her life and character than we
gave last week is demanded, and
we give herewith few facts ac-
cordingly
Mrs. Hufford was daughter of
Capt. Vim. HI. and Mary Nj. Howe,
of Pulaski County, Virginia. She
was descendant of the Puritans
of New England. her GRANDPA Their,
Daniel Rowe, being q native of Mas
sachusetts, and closely related to the
family of that name-a name which
Is connected more or less closely
with the early history CT our country.
From his ancestry she inherited
many OF those sterling traits of char
acter and attractiveness of manner
withwhich she so easily and favorab-
~ impressed those with whom she
came in contact. AS q Young woman
Gussi" Howe is said to have been
beautiful of form and feature, and
popular i'm society. Her natural en-
dowments were supplemented and
augmented by liberal education,
and through all the vicissitudes,
mental and physical, through which
she was called 10 PASS, these noble
traits and accomplishments stood
out in bold relief.
Mrs. Hufford was high toned in
telligent Christian lady, fondly and
devo'edly attached to her family ard
friends. The poor state of her health
at times rendered her scarcely capa-
bile of discI:arging her full duty as
wife and mother, but notwithstand-
ing, required no extraordinary
knowledge of the iutricacies and
mysteries of human character to
disceru IN her the true woman that
she was.
or her fathers family there still

Howe, of Cnrinth, Va, and sisters,
Mrs. DIR. g. II. Pepper, of Rural Re-
treat; Mrs. w. w. Minor. Charlotts.
vile, Va; Mrs. Geo. Il. Hammer, of
Bristol, Mr.. Jas. A. Bumgardner,
and Miss Nellie Howe, of Salem. Va.
Mrs. Hufford was the second wife
of DR.. II. ID. Hufford, TO whom she
was married in May 1876. who with
five children are left to mourn her
loss and untimely death.
Her health had been poor for some
time, but she collapsed entirely only
on Wednesday before her death on
Thursday. All that medical skill
could devise and do failed to relieve
her, and on Friday morning, at
o'clock her spirit departed to that
land whose inhabitants are said new
er grow old, or know sorrow or pain.
She was buried from the Presby
terrain church, of which she was a
worthy member, the pastor, assist
, ed by Rev. Mr.. Martin, Of the
, Methodist church, conducted the
solemn services. Her remains were
burIied in the new cemetery where
she sleeps, awaiting the resurrection
call from the skies
