Died--- At her residence in Junction, Paulding county, Ohio, on the 20th inst., Mrs. Sarah Marcellus, wife of Dr. H. Marcellus, in the 67 year of her age. The deceased was born in the city of Philadelphia on the 23d day of September, in the year 1784. She united herself to the M. E. Church about the year 1812, and from that time up to the day of her death endeavored to adorn her profession by an upright walk and Godly conversation, reproving sin and commending righteousness to all around.

I her death her husband has lost an affectionate wife, her children one of the best of mothers, and the Church (in this place) one of her brightest ornaments. Although she was never known to rejoice aloud, yet her "peace" continued always "to flow as a river, and her righteousness as the waves of the sea" Her last sickness was of short duration- not to exceed fifteen minutes, and was pronounced by the physican dropsey of the heart. Her last words were "Lord Jesus receive my spirit"

"Let sickness blast, let death devour,
If heaven must recompense our pains;
Perish the grass, and fade the flower,
If firm the word of God remains.
