THE GRIM REAPER'S WORK.

Who He Has Gathered the Past Week to Swell the Great Majority.

  Mrs. Belinda Lehr died at her husband's residence, No. 1023 Third 
avenue, at half-past 12 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.  She was the wife
of Mr. John Lehr, an engineer, employed on the middle division of the
Pennsylvania railroad.  Mrs. Lehr was a daughter of the late Dr. L. F.
Bush and was in the 42d year of her age.  The cause of death was dropsy
and her health had not been good for a number of years, but it was not
until Wednesday last that she was compelled to take her bed.  Her
illness was borne with a Christian fortitude.  She was a member of the
Second Lutheran church and was, therefore, prepared for that great
change which must come to all.  Beside her husband she leaves six
children, who are: Mr. A. E. Kerr, of Carlisle, and Doshia, Laura,
Jessie, Herbert and Harry, all of whom reside at home.
