Miss Sarah Lucinda Albin was born in Elkhart county, Ind., Dec. 27, 1880, and died Jan. 18, 1901, aged 20 years and 22 days. The funeral was conducted at the San Pierre M. E. Church, by Rev. Calton, assisted by the San Pierre and Dunnville chbirs. Sarah was one of our popular young ladies and will be greatly missed by her many friends.
