The Weekly Perrysburg Journal.  Perrysburg, Wood County, Ohio.  May 8, 1868, p. 3.
DIED.

	On April 27, 1868, Fidelia, wife of John Shroder, aged 26 years and 7 
months.

	In her early youth, she commenced to attend the Sabbath School of the 
M.E. Church, in Perrysburg, of which she continued a faithful member until she 
attained to womanhood, and then became as faithful a teacher as she had been a 
scholar.  The love of the lessons of wisdom which she had here learned and 
taught, some two years since, induced her to make a public profession of her 
love for, and faith in, the Gospel of Christ, and to seek, through fellowship 
with the church militant, preparation for, and everlasting communion with, the 
church triumphant.  It may truthfully be said of her, in her relations in life 
as Associate, Daughter, and Wife, she gave a beautiful exemplification of her 
Christian faith, and in her death both realized herself and witnessed to others 
that she had not followed a cunningly-devised fable, but walked in the sure 
ways of the truth of God, constraining all who had known her in life, and saw 
her in death, to say, in a realizing sense, "Mark the perfect woman, and behold 
the upright; for the end of that woman is peace."  And, though she is glorified 
and happy with the angels, her sorrowing husband and relatives are left to 
chant in the minor key of hallowed grief, in the beautiful language of Mrs. 
Hemans:

	"For there is hushed on earth

A voice of gladness; there is veiled a face,

Whose parting leaves a dark and silent place

By the once joyous hearth.

A smile hath passed which filled its home with light:-

A soul, whose beauty made that smile so bright."  H.
