FROM BIRMINGHAM.

Mrs. Sadie Decker, wife of Rev. A. W. Decker, who has served the
Methodist congregation of this place as pastor for the last two years,
died of consumption on Saturday evening of last week in the 43d year
of her age.  At 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon her remains were taken
from their residence on Market street to the Methodist Church where
appropriate services were conducted by Rev. S. C. Swallow, of Tyrone;
Rev. George Guyer, of Bellwood; Rev. Heckman, of Warriorsmark; Rev. F.
B. Riddle, of Tyrone.  After an opportunity was given to all who
desired to see the remains of the deceased they were followed to the
Methodist cemetery by an exceedingly large circle of friends and
relatives.  Perfectly resigned to the will of God she bore her
afflictions, and awaited the Master's coming without fear or
trembling.  Having lived the life of the righteous it was her
privilege to die the death of the righteous.  "Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord."
