The death of Mrs. Kingsbury had
been hourly expected for nearly two
weeks and her wonderful vitality was
a marvel to her physician and family.

cheerfulness was such as to touch the
hearts of all who came into her pres

who was like daughter to her, two
brothers, sister and host of loving
, friends to mourn her loss.

of all evils; when it comes, it is an
alleviatlon to mortals who are worn
out with suffering"
The many friends of Mrs. Kings
bury are fully aware that these words
are exceedingly true. She has been
: great sufferer for the past four years,
i but her patience has been such as
could only be manifested by devout
I and earnest christian.

Bowling Green while Mr.. Kingsbury
=, was Sheriff, Mrs. Kingsbury was
taken i'll and has not experienced one
day of good health since that time.
T. Coming home again to Perrysburg
a where fine new residence had been
erected affording an excellent view of
II the beautiful river along whose banks
< she had formerly resided, it was
hoped her health would return and
IS that many years of health and hap

ness was too deep seated and she
gradually became weaker until the
'e end came on Thursday evening, June
g. 20, 1905, at 1880 o'clock.
