Died in Sterling Aug. 21, 1886. Mrs. Netta Fullerton, wife of  Geo. Fullerton and daughter of Mrs. Margaret Embury of Omer, in the 27th year of her age.
 
The subject of this memoir was a dutiful wife, and much esteemed neighbor. She was at peace with every one, and the large concourse of friends that gathered at the church and grave, showed that she was loved by all. Our town perhaps, was never more aroused by the messenger, Death, than at the present time. Every thing was done that could be done to save her, but all in vain.

Our kind physican, Dr. Abbot, stood by her until the last moment. But God's way are not man's way. He thought it best to call her home from this world to Himself.  Her prospects seemed bright for a better country. Only a few hours before her death I was privileged to converse with her. And when asked, Is all well with the soul? She calmly replied, Yes, all is well.

The funeral sermon was preached by the writer in the M.E. church, on Monday, the 23rd inst, from the book of Joshua, first chap., verse 11. After which we laid her in the silent grave beside her infant son to wait the resurection morn. My God bless the sorrowing husband and friends.
