Mrs. Catherine Reed 

  Died in Blacklick township on the 25th ult., after a protracted 
illness, Mrs. Catherine Reed, in the 25th year of her age.  Her 
sufferings though protracted and severe were borne with fortitude and 
calm resignation to the divine will.  Her trust was in Christ and she 
found it an anchor to her soul, sure and steadfast in the awful hour of 
dissolution.  She has left a heart-stricken husband and three 
motherless babes to plod life's many pathway without a wife's angel 
presence or a mother's watchful care and sympathy.  Their loss is her 
infinite gain!  Father, mother, husband, children, friends, weep not - 
she is "not dead but sleepeth."
  Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep!
  From which none ever wakes to weep.
