The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio. May 4, 1866, p. 3.
Died.

	Suddenly, at the house of Dr. H. Burritt, in Maumee City, on Sunday, 
April 15, 1866, Mrs. Alta M., wife of William H. Burritt, and daughter of Rev. 
Joseph Ayres, of the Central Ohio Conference M.E. Church.

	In this case, Death chose a shining mark.  She was not only taken away 
suddenly, but in the bloom of life, being only in her 20th year.  The threefold 
tender ties of Daughter, Sister and Wife have been suddenly parted.  But, 
though her friends feel bereft, and miss the cheerful and sunny smiles that 
emanated from an amiable and gentle spirit, they mourn not as those "who mourn 
without hope."  What comfort now to know that in her twelfth year she sought 
the Lord, and united with the M.E. Church and has now only exchanged her home 
and friends on earth, to join and live forever with the blood-washed throng, 
where,

	"With the saints of all ages in harmony meet

	Their savior and brethren transported to greet;

	Where the anthems of glory unceasingly roll,

	And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul."
