After calling her husband, she sat in a rocking chair and expired. The deceased was in her 48th year, her maiden name being Sophia Frickie. She leaves to mourn the loss of a devoted wife and fond mother; her husband, three sons and two daughters, Nathaniel, of Detroit, Wesley and Earl at home; Mrs Adam Flatt and Catharine, the youngest daughter, eight years of age.
