At A Good Age. - Rebecca Johnson-Nichols Sharp, relict of the late Andrew 
Jackson Sharp, aged 80 years, 7 months and 12 days, a native of St. Clair 
county, Ill., and a resident of the vicinity of Donaldsonville 57 years, 
died after a brief illness, life's candle having flitted in its natural 
course. Andrew Jackson Sharp, the husband, died some years ago, and in his

funeral services took place at the Methodist church, of which the deceased 
was a devoted member, and the interment in the Protestant cemetery, a large 
throng of sympathizing friends being in attendance,
