The deceased was born in Montgomery county in this state, and with her husband and family moved to and took up residence in Hamburg, about forty years ago, at a time when the country in that section was a wilder ness. Shortly after their settlement in Ham burg, her husband died, leaving her to go through life without his cheering presence. The deceased was a noble specimen of the old American woman, and died in the faith of a glorious resurrection, leaving many relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Her children are Daniel Titus, Esq., of Hamburg, Elizabeth Scovill, of the same place, wife of Jasper Sco vill, and Susan S’. Montgomery, her youngest daughter, wife of John H. Montgomery, of this city, together with grandchildren and great grandchildren. Rev. Mr. B. CG.
