Sudden Death-This community was startled on New Year’s morning, by the announcement that Mrs. Elizabeth Lash had been found dead in her room. She was 79 years of age, and has, for several years, resided with her son, Mr. J. B. Lash.

She retired to her room on Sunday evening about half past eight o’clock –her usual time of going to rest, apparently in her usual health-though for several years she has been somewhat feeble.

The next morning she was found lying on the floor, cold in death, evidently expired while in the act of to go to rest.

The family and friends of the deceased have the sympathy of the community in their great and sudden bereavement. Truly, in the midst of life we are in death.
