Rosena Wagg, youngest daughter of Andrew Wagg of Port Louisa township, died at her home last Wednesday night of consumption, aged 17 years 8 months and 10 days. The dread disease made its appearance over a year ago and the result was long since inevitable, but she held up cheerfully and bravely to the end. Only the Saturday before her death she attended the Sunday School picnic at Harrison church, and no one then supposed death was so near. The funeral was held at Harrison church Friday at 10 o'clock, Rev. Wilhelmi of this place preaching the sermon. Several of her young lady associates were selected by her as pall bearers. The remains were deposited in the Harrison cemetery.
