DIED
In this place, at the residence of Mr. P. A. Wilson, on Saturday mornin g, the 12th inst., Miss Catharine Lynn, aged 18 years.
She was a young, beautiful, and beloved by all who know her Inestimably q uiet was her final hour, for He who can offer thrones, offered her on th at this poor world the purchase could not pay. If anything can offer cons olation t her many friends, it is the manner in which she met her last a nd only enemy. --No purer spirit ever passed the death ordeal; while in t he cold and lonely valley she was heard to whisper "my father's will be do ne." And then again, with her countenance beaming with the true lig ht of Heaven, which nothing but the blessed promises of our Savior can ref lect, she asked "Meet me in Heaven."
May we not hope, that her beatified spirit will hover over us and ke ep us from harm. Our friend is now our guardian angel; may we live as s he lived, die as she died, and meet her in Heaven.
Or could this be the Catherine Wilson b Nov 1840, married to Newell Sap p, b Mar 1837 abt 1867. This couple are living 2 house away from Jul ia A. Willson, possibly her mother.
