Needham, of Dublin, Ind After an illness of eight montbs, during which time she was an intense sufferer with an ulcer of the stomach, she died in her home at Marion on the 17th day of August, at the ripe age of 60 years, 2 months, and 23 days. There were with her at the time of her death those who lo'ved her, and everything that could be' done to make the last hours she spent, in the care of her loved ones, comfortable, w>s done. She joined the United Brethren Chuch when she was a young girl, and remained true to her early vows and was an active member of said church up to the time of her death. She was. a loving wife, a devoted mother, a true friend, and a constant Christian, and when we have said this we have paid out highest tribute to one who has laid the burdens of lie down to take up the larger duties of that richer and more blessed life to which Christ has called her when He spoke the words, “Come unto Me and I will give you rest.” She had labored and was weary, so she accepted this invitation of the Master. Funeral services were held in the Christian church of Rensselaer on Wednesday, August 20th, at three o’clock in the afternoon. Bev. W. G. Winn, pastor of the church, conducted the services. The interment was made in Weston cemetery.
