Hannibal Journal, January 21, 1847
DIED
In LaGrange, Lewis county, on the 8th inst., Mrs. Nancy Cashman, in the 53d 
year of her age.

It is at all times a painful task to be under the necessity of announcing the 
death of a friend or relative, but when it becomes our duty to record the 
decease of a dearly beloved sister -- a sister who we have loved since we have 
been susceptible of the passion of love. -- there are none can tell how 
painful is that duty, save those who have been visited by a like 
dispensation.  She has gone to the spirit land, and left us to deplore her 
irrepairable loss. -- yet, we "mourn not as those who have no hope."  We 
rejoice to learn (by private letter) that she died in great peace, with a 
bright prospect of immortality and eternal life beyond the tomb.

The LaGrange Free Press says:  "The deceased had been for a number of years an 
exemplary member of the M. E. Church.  During which time her pious walk in 
life corresponded with the profession she had assumed.

In her death a bereaved family mourns the loss of a kind and affectionate 
parent.  Society has lost one from its midst whose place cannot be easily 
supplied, and the Church mourns the loss of one of its most efficient and 
useful members.
