DIED.

 

     Susannah, wife of E. B. Row, died at the residence in North Liberty, on Wednesday, July 14th, 1875.
     The deceased was a daughter of Levi Longenecker, of Madison township, born on the 14th day of May 1840, and was, consequently, aged thirty-five years and two months at the time of her death.  She was united in marriage to her bereaved husband in 1866, and proved a kind and affectionate wife.  At the age of thirteen she united with the M. E. Church and remained a faithful member, prominent and zealous in church and Sunday school work until stricken down by the hand of Death.  Her last work in the Sunday school was the organization of an infant class of ten members, which is prospering finely.  A husband, father and four brothers and sisters survive to mourn her untimely end.  The remains were taken to Elkhart county for interment, on Friday.
