DIED, Mrs. Elizabeth Dunlap, was born Oct. 1st., 1834, died near Shelby, O., May 1st., 1875, aged 40 years and 7 months. The deceased was very unexpectedly called into eternity, having been sick but a few days. She was a faithful wife, a kind mother and was much esteemed by friends and neighbors. Aged parents, brothers and sisters, a much afflicted husband and four children, survive to mourn her vacant place in the bereaved home. Funeral services, very numerously attended, were held at the Sheriff Church, conducted by the Rev. N.H. Loose. In the church yard where many of her neighbors rest, in the sleep of the grave, we consigned her mortal remains to rest in peace until the last great day. -- N.H.L.
