OBITUARY.

Editors Ledger:-- Aryana STUART was born in Montgomery county, Maryland, in 1813. When 15 years of age she moved with her parents to Ohio. At the age of 19 she was married to Hezekiah CASE. They moved to this county and settled on a farm near Glasgow in 1853. She was the mother of 10 children, seven of whom are living. Mary, Sis, Gus, Will and Al. were with her during her sickness and did all that filial affection could do to avert the hand of death and make her last days as comfortable as possible. She united with the M.E. church in 1847, and was a faithful follower of Him whom she served. Over a year ago she was stricken with paralysis, and has been confined to the house ever since. She bore all her sufferings without a murmur, and in her last illness often expressed her readiness to die. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the aged companion who is left to mourn her loss. As a devoted wife and mother, and a kind neighbor, she was loved by all who knew her.
