To Her Final Rest.

RANDLE.—Mrs. Ruth A. Randle, wife of James T. Randle, died at her home in Rensselaer at about half past five o’clock Sunday morning, of heart failure. The funeral was held from the residence at eleven o’clock Tuesday morning. Tne death of Mrs. Randle wasquite unexpected, as she was considered out of danger from the recent attack of grip and her physician had discharged her. She had been very bright and cheerful the previous day and had intended to leave her bed that day. She became suddenly worse shortly after five o’clock and by the time the doctor could be summoned she had expired, though willing hands did all they could to stay the departing spirit. Mrs. Ruth Randle was the eldest child of Rial and Sarah A. Benjamin, both recently deceased. Of her eleven brothers and sisters but one survives Rial P. Benjamin of this place. Mrs. Randle was born in Ross county, Ohio, April 13, 1833, being 63 years, 9 months and 11 days old at her death. Her parents moved to this county in 1840, where she has since resided. Her first marriage was to W. F. Harr s, April 10,1853, from whom she was parted by death in 1870. Her son, Rial B. Harris, is the only survivor of eight children the fruits of this marriage. She became the wife of James T. Randle Nov. 24, 1878, who lives to mourn her death. They have no children. She was a member of the Methodist church, a kind neighbor, beloved by Ml for her truly Christian beauties of character, and her entrance upon Paradise has made many sorrowing hearts in the sphere of earthly being.
