BORN -- WILHELM -- Feb. 2, to Mr. & Mrs. Purlie Wilhelm, of Arch Street and Cleveland Avenue, a daughter. 04 February 1894, Vol. IX, No. 287 A Baltimore paper of recent date has the following concerning an aged couple who for about 30 years were residents of this city, which is reproduced verbatim: IN MEMORIAM. Died, At her home, Allegheny City, Pa., Nov. 29, 1893, Mary Elizabeth, wife of Christian G. Stough and daughter of the late Dr. David Ecker, aged 75 years. Also at the same residence, Dec. 7, 1893, the husband, Christian G. Stough, aged 75 years. They overreached their three-score and 10 years, and then, not far apart, they passed away in the winter season of the year -- fit time for the aged to die -- falling like the leaves of autumn, smitten to the earth beneath in the winter of life. Thus a great shallow has fallen across the household. The seats and vanished forms of both father and mother have left the hearthstone desolate. "Death empties the house, but not the heart, that keeps his darlings safe, though out of sight." (scripture omitted) During the present year the health and strength of both rapidly declined. The feeble helpless condition of the mother and the tottering steps and trembling limits of the father told in mute language that their days on earth were numbered and they would soon go the ways of all flesh. Fifty-three years of wedded life they journeyed together along life's uneven pathway, mutually sharing the ills and sorrows they were caused to bear. Together they suffered in life, and in death they were not long divided. The disease which carried him away was pronounced by his physician bronchial pneumonia, which caused intense suffering from first to last. The end was hastened by the sudden death of his devoted wife. Resting quietly by his side, she was stricken with paralysis and suddenly died, without a struggle or a moan. The shock was terrible and more than he, in his weak condition, could endure. From that sad hour sleep departed. He slept no more through those eight weary days and nights, but every moment he spent in prayerful devotion. Earnest prayer and the singing of sacred hymns filled up the fleeting moments, until nature's exhausted energies surrendered to the one great law that dooms us all to dust. "Dust thou art and unto dust shall thou return." His children and his motherless grandson, whom they tenderly reared from infancy to manhood, gathered around his dying bed to sooth and comfort him in the hour of his greatest need. Human ties and attachments are strong and enduring. Ever after their removal from Mansfield and its fond associations, one yearning desire of their hearts was to return to their old home and dear friends they left behind them. And now, after a lapse of weary years, they were in silence, brought in to go out no more on chilly wintry days, when the muffled winds of autumn, swaying the leafless boughs, chanted a sighing requiem over the open graves they were laid to rest in their dreamless beds, near by the graves of their two dear sons, John and Edward. -- Walnut Bottom, Pa.
