DIED.

WEBSTER.--February 26th 1873, in Mitchell Co., at the residence of her father, John DeFord, Mrs. Jennie Webster, Wife of C. H Webster, of Cresco.

The deceased left her home in this place about New Years, to visit her parents in Mitchell county, where she remained because of the prevalence of measels{sp} here. In the pride and at the very threshold of hope, with an apparent long future of happiness in the enjoyment of home, society, and friends, she is summoned away to the eternal home to meet the friends and enjoy the society of cherished ones gone before. Indeed how the remembrance of loved ones gone before, lessens the fear of death and the desire to remain in a world of strangers when our pets are in heaven. The husband, friends and relatives of the deceased have the sympathy of all who knew her, for her womanly qualities and pureness of heart.
