Died.

REESE. - In Logan township, on January 19, 1881, at 4 o'clock P.M., 
Mrs. Margaret F. Reese, aged 30 years, 6 months and 15 days.
  Funeral from the residence near the Sanctuary meeting house on 
Friday, the 21st inst., at 10 o'clock A.M.
  She has left a husband and six young children to mourn her departure.  
The deceased has suffered severely and patiently for the past two years 
from cancer; her life has been a living sermon to us all, being a 
consistent professor of religion for the past thirteen years.  So 
highly was she beloved by her neighbors that in less than four hours 
after her death nearly all the families of the valley came to see her 
and offer the tribute of a tear to her memory.  My poor pen fails to 
tell the story of her life.  She seemed to say to me, as I looked on 
her pale face, "He died for me, he died for you!" - G. W. B.
