DIED -- Mrs. Louisa, wife of the late Nathaniel Blakeley, died at her home
on Madison Street at noon on Wednesday, June 21, 1893. Mrs. Blakeley had
been sick and unable to leave her bed since early in the spring, and
knowing that she could not recover made a will of the property left to her
by her husband and complacently resigned herself into the arms of him who
doeth all things well. Her husband died about seven years ago. They left no
children and her estate goes by will, to her relatives. She was a sister of
Mr. Leroy Springer, her funeral took place at her late residence, Friday,
under the direction of her pastor, Rev. John Scholfield, pastor of the
Cong'l church at this place.
