Mrs. Keturah Mclaughlin.

This lady died at her home in the vii
lage Of North Arson, Monday morning,
January 18th. Though an invalid for
many years, the immediate cause of her
death WAS valvular disease of the heart,
which assumed fatal aspect about two
weeks before her death. The funeral
ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Mr..
Crane, large number of people attend
ing Miss Louise Twadele sang two
beautiful and pathetic solos. In few
terse sentences, Mr.. Crane delineated
the character of this esteemed woman
WITH force, truth and pathos.
Mrs Mclaughlin was born in this vii
lage on the fifth day of July, 1882. She
was the daughter of Col John Moore
and Keturah Moore Fifty years ago
the 5th day of last July, on the 22nd an.
niversary of her birth, having been mar
ried to Daniel Mclaughlin two days be-
fore abe moved into the house where
she died and which was her home for
half a century AL her children, eight
n number, were born in this house, and
five of the six that have died we're buried
from here. Her husband died in 1870,
leaving SIX children for her to support
and educate. She was a feeble woman
even then; but with uncommon patience,
perseverance, and devotion to motherly
duty, she toiled on amid hardships and
griefs that seemed too heavy for even d
strong map to bear This whole com
munity knew her sterling worth, her
virtue, and her honor. With trouble
enough to sour her life and to disbeart-
en- her courage, she trusted in God and
loved humanity. Her affection for her
children was what a mother alone can
know ),
