GOOD LADY GONE.

The death of Mrs. Julia Dever
which occurred at her home nea
Mill Gap on Monday night, has oc
casioned deep regret wherever sh'
was known.
Death was due to a complication
of troubles resulting from a severe
spell of fever, and she had been i'll
for probably six week, her case be-
ing regarded as critical and practi-
cally hopeless for nearly half of
that time.
Mrs. Dever's maiden name was
Kincaid and she formerly resided in
Augusta county. She was the
widow of the late Jasper Dever,
whose death occurred some two
years ago. She was about 65years
of age, and the mother of a large
family of children, all of them, if
we are correctly informed, being
with her during the close of her life.
She was good woman, held in
high esteem not only by her i'm
mediate friends and neighbors, but
also by all who knew her through
out the county.
