DEATH'S DOINGS.
Those Who Have Crossed Over to the Other Shore.

  Mrs. Lydia Dead [sic] died at her residence in Juniata township, on 
the 2d inst., of paralysis, at the patriarchal age of 80 years, 10 
months and 19 days.  Deceased was the daughter [?] of the late Thomas 
Dean, of Juniata township, where she was born and where she resided all 
her life.  She was the second oldest person in the township, and was 
highly respected and honored by all who knew her.  For forty years she 
had been a consistent member of the Baptist church, and by her walk and 
conversation gave evidence that she was a faithful follower of the 
Master.  Three sons and one daughter survive her, and if they but 
follow her teachings and example they will meet their sainted mother in 
that better land beyond.
