DIED.
Nov. 28, 1877, in Sioux county, Mrs. Ann Daw, wife of Mr. A. Daw.

She was born in England, March 18, 1840. Death found her ready and in the
language of the Psalmist, she exclaimed, “Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
they rod and staff they comfort me.”

Her funeral was attended by a large number of friends and neighbors. She
leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss. ~W. M. E.
