DEATHS-

FRENCH-In this city, at the residence of L. E. Howes, her son-in-law, Monday, 
January 9th, 1871, Mrs. Sarah French, aged 71 years.

Mrs. French was born in Swanton, Vermont, January 28th, 1800, and resided 
there until about fifteen years ago, when she came to Maquoketa, and since 
that time has lived near her children. For many years she had been very feeble 
and suffered almost constantly with a severe cough.

About thirty years ago she united with the Baptist Church, and has been a 
devoted Christian ever since. For many years her ill health had deprived her 
of the privilege of attending church, but she was a constant reader of the 
Scriptures, and never doubted the happiness awaiting her on the other shore.

Though for many years afflicted with a painful disease, she never murmured or 
complained, and her death, like her life, was calm and peaceful. A faithful 
servant, having discharged her every duty is fallen asleep to awaken in the 
better land. She has gone to join her husband who went many years before her, 
and she leaves six children who are consoled in the knowledge that a pure 
Christian life on earth ends with joy and happiness in Heaven.
