Emma A., wife of James Ferrell, and daughter of A. T. and R. Randolph, whose death occurred at Cadillac, Wexford County, Michigan, July 26, 1883, was born in Watertown, NY., May 13, 1854.

The sudden and untimely demise of Mrs. Ferrell brings sorrow to many hearts. Her illness was of seen week's duration, but was characterized by great suffereing. she born her affliction with patience. She leaves a loving husband, two bright boys, aged 4 and 6 years, and a father, mother and sister to mourn their loss. Though the affliction is heavy, we trust that their loss is her eternal gain. Emma will be remembered as an efficient teacher by many of her scholars in the day school and Sunday school.

Theobald, officiating.
