Obituary:

DIEDHenrietta Flemming, daughter of Henry and Hester A. Hurd, was born at Ridgeville, Henry county, Ohio, April 6th, 1871, died at Toledo, Lucas county, Ohio, October 9th, 1888, aged 17 years, 6 months and 4 days. At this early age she gave evidence of her acceptance with Christ, notwithstanding her career on earth was soon ended, and she so soon taken from our midst, yet her short life was fraught with blessings to those around, and was not without its mark in the world, for some days previous to her departure it was evident that the Lord was soon to call her home. She has gone to the borne of which she delighted to sing. Her funeral took place at the M. E. church at Florida, the Rev. M. C. Howey officiating at the funeral. Text, 90th Psalm, 6 verse, 'In the morning he flourisheth and groweth up, In the evening it is cut down, and withereth.' After which the funeral procession formed and conveyed the body to the Florida cemetery, where her soul has gone to join those that are gone before to be again united in the sweet by and by.

My wife is gone, and I am left
The loss of her to mourn.
But may I hope to meet with her,
With Christ before God's throne.

J. W,

We wish to thank the kind friends and neighbors who so faithfully and tenderly helped to care for my dear wife daring her last illness, and when called upon to pass through like affliction may you have friends as kind is the wish of Jefferson Flemming.
