Died.  Sunday morning, Feb. 25, 1882, in the bend of the river, Mrs. SARAH A.
ALEXANDER, wife of Alexander M. Alexander, age 82 years.
The two had lived together 56 years.  She was born in Trenton, M.J. Her whole
life was pure and spotless, and she was universally beloved.

She is gone, our dearest mother
	She is sleeping in the grave
Now her pilgrimage is over
	She has crossed life's troubled wave.

For over fifty years she cheered
	Our father's heart and home
Then cruel death approached and laid
	Our mother in the tomb.

Our father's heart is saddened now
	He sheds aflliction's tears.
O, may the grace of God's grace sustain
	His lone declining years.

We miss her presence everywhere
	And earth looks sad and drear
When forced to think that here no more
	We meet our Mother dear.

(Last two stanzas illegible.) Signed RAS
