In Memoriam.
Died in Lockport, August 12th, 1878, Mrs. Sarah A., wife of Wm J. Fickes, Esq., aged 24 years 8 months, and 6 days. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. William Ashbaugh, at whose residence she died. She left, besides her deeply bereaved husband, four infant children, and a large circle of friends to mourn her early demise. Mrs. Fickes was a woman of many excellent qualities, which greatly endeared her to those who had the advantage of her acquaintance. She was amiable, kind, confiding and intent on doing good according to her opportunities. She was a christian; having been received into the fellowship of the Lutheran Church by Dr. Steck, on the first Sabbath he spent in New Philadelphia in the spring of 1876. Her funeral, which was largely attended, occurred on the 14th inst., her pastor, Dr. Steck, officiating. The bereaved have the [illegible] consolation, in this case, that their loss is her gain.
A Friend.
