OBITUARY RECORD.

  Departed this life on Friday morning, the 18th instant, at the 
residence of her son, in Graysville, Mrs. Catharine Rhoades, widow of 
Joseph Butts, deceased, aged 71 years, and 6 months.
 "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord, for they rest from their 
labors and their works do follow them."
 The death of this estimable lady has indeed cast a gloom throughout 
the circle of her many friends and acquaintances - yet it was evident 
from the lingering disease that had been preying upon her constitution, 
that she could not overcome it; she was aware of her approaching end, 
and calmly awaited death's summons. She was a devoted christian, kind 
mother, and affectionate friend, and a member of the Catholic Church 
for the last fifty-three years.
    COMMUNICATED.
