DIED. In this city on the 11th inst., of Diarrhoea, Josephine, wife of L.F. Church, aged 19 years and 11 months.

Deceased had been among us but a short time and during that time had won many warm friends who with a large circle of relatives mourn her loss.

She left one child about twenty months old in the care of a father who has the sympathy of an entire community.
