  • Notes 
    • MRS. JACOB F. LICHTY.
      The unexpected death of this well-known and highly respected lady, which occurred at her home just east of the village last Saturday evening, cast a gloom of sorrow over the community. She has been somewhat ill of late but was thought to be improving. She retired early on Saturday evening and shortly afterwards complained of a pain in her heart, which rapidly increased until she expired in about twenty minutes. She was a daughter of Christian Zehr, sr., of this village, and was in her 32nd year. Besides her sorrowing husband, Bishop Lichty, she leaves a family of four children, the youngest a babe six weeks old. Then was an immense attendance at the funeral, which occurred yesterday. Bishop Bender of Tavistock, preaching the sermon, assisted by Mr. Gascho, of St. Agatha. The remains were interred in the cemetery adjoining Bishop Lichty's sorrow-stricken home.
