DIED

FISHER
Miss Sophia S. Fisher, whose death we were called to mourn a few days since, was born in the city of Philadelphia, removed to this place in the year 1840, where she has since resided up to the time of her death, except during a few months prior to last spring, which she spent in her native city. She grew up among us from childhood and her lovely, kind and amiable disposition endeared her to everyone who knew her. By nature frank, open hearted, generous and possessed of the kindliest feelings of human nature, none knew her but to love her and it may be safely asserted that she had not an enemy in the wide world. Suddenly cut off in the flower of youth, with the brightest prospects in life before her, how mournful her fate. Her death has created a void not easily to be filled. If sympathies of the entire community and the deep and lasting regret of all who knew her can afford consolation to the relations of the deceased, they will be consoled. Many die and are soon forgotten, but the subject of this obituary will live in the memory of her friends long after her form has mouldered into dust.
