MRS. CATHARINE LIGHT

  Mrs. Catharine Light, wife of Associate Judge Andrew Light, died at her 
home on North Eighth street, Friday evening, at 9 o'clock, aged about 66 
years.
  For a number of years Mrs. Light was a sufferer from dropsy but not until 
last Monday did she take to her bed.  From that day on she suffered greatly, 
but her death was apparently without pain, she passing away as though she 
were falling asleep.  Her husband and family were at her bedside and her 
death was not unexpected.
  Judge and Mrs. Light were married 48 years ago.  Her maiden name was 
Meyer, and she was born in North Annville township.  Ezra Meyer, of the firm 
of Uhler & Meyer, millers, is a brother.  The children are Mrs. Samuel S. 
Horst, Mrs. Emma L., wife of Dr. H. H. Shirk, of Camden, N.J., and Andrew 
Light, of this city.
  Mrs. Light was a member of Salem United Brethren church.  She led a 
Christian life, was well-known throughout the city and there are many who 
will regret her death.  As a wife and mother she was of the best and the 
sympathy and condolence of the community is with the family.  The funeral 
will take place on Tuesday morning at 9:30 o'clock.
