OBITUARY NOTES.

Dealli of Mrs. S. K. Saylor. The following is taken from a Weston, Ohio, paper. The subject of this obituary is the wife of Samuel K. Saylor, brother of Jacob, Isaac, Henry and Michael Saylor, who reside in Jasper county: A loving mother’s hands are clasped upon her breast, They have kissed her lovely brow. And In their aching hearts they know That they have no mother now. No bitter tears had she to weep. No sins to be forgiven; But gently closed her eyes in sleep To open them in heaven. « On Monday morning, April 29, 1895, at eleven o’clock, occured the death of J uriah Saylor, wife of Samuel K. Saylor of this place. Juriah Culp was born in Pickaway county, Ohio. Oct. 15, 1817, and was married to S. K. Saylor Nov. 26, 1840. They moved to Wood county in 1860 from Seneca county, where they had lived for some time.

Their married life has been blessed with thirteen children, six of which have preceded her to the starry land. Grandma Saylor united with the church in 1841, and has always been an active worker in the cause of religion. Her example has always been a Godly one to her family and all who knew her. She admonished her family to be true and devoted Christians. Her last words were: “Blessed are those who die in the Lord.” About two years ago she had a stroke of paralysis from which she never recovered, leaving her nearly helpless. Many times when she would try to walk she would fall; twice she fell with a lighted lamp in her hand, and on each occasion it went out, and thereby saved her from burniug herself and home. Grandma Saylor was 77 years, 6 months and 14 days old. She leaves a husband, five sons and two daughters, to mourn her death. The funeral services will be held this forenoon (Friday), at 10 o’clock at the M. E. church, of which she was a member, under the auspices of Kokoshing Rebekah Lodge, No. 803, I. O. O. F., and the pastor of the church, Rev. Jacob Baumgardner. The burial will take place in the new cemetary. Mrs. Saylor was a charter member of Kokosing Rebekah Degree Lodge, joining the order
