The Washington Republican
Washington County
Friday
October 24, 1884

Catharine TRAVER was born at Blineback, Dutcheys county, N.Y., in 1812, Oct. 17
and moved to Wisconsin in 1851, thence to Kansas in 1868, and thence to Nebraska
in 1879, and died at Pawnee City October 17, 1884; just 72 years old. She was
married at the age of 26. Her husband died in 1864, leaving here the mother of
six children, four of whom survive her three daughters and one son. She was
industrious and usually enjoyed good health to within 18 days of her death.
After a few days of bodily pain, she closed her eyes to all earthly scenes; her
spirit went to God, who gave it.
At an early age she became a member of the Lutheran church, but in later years
she became very much attached to the Baptist church, although she did not become
a member. She was a constant reader of the Bible, having read it through many
times. She goes to her grave at a good old age, like a ripe shock of corn, fit
for the master's use. Her funeral was largely attended at the house of Alfred
Bond. The sermon was preached by the writer from Jobe.  J.F. RAIRDEN.
