ORIANS-Died, at the residence of her son, Henry, at Marion, on Wednesday
morning, the 7th inst., after a short illness, Mrs. Helena, wife of the
late John Orians, aged about 74 years.
 The remains were brought to this city, yesterday morning, nnd after a
solemn mass, conducted by Rev. Father Braschler, the remains were interred
in St. Peters graveyard. The deceased was a native of Baden, Germany, but
with other relatives and friends emigrated to this country and located in
this city in 1851 where she has ever since resided. She was born in the same
town and emigrated in the same vessel as did our townsmen, Mr. Frank Keller.
She was a step sister of the late John Gaa and in their lifetime the two
were greatly attached to one anothor. About six weeks ago Mrs. Orians went
to Marion to pay a visit to her son, but she had not been there long until
she took sick, and although receiving the best attention, the disease termi-
nated in death. She was a good, christain lady, greatly devoted to the
church of her choice, and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends.
She leaves two sons and number of relatives to mourn her loss.
