Catherine Frauger

   Catharine Frauger died at the residence of her son, Christian Frauger, near; Pleasant Unity, Pa., on the 31st of, August, 1859, aged 79 years, 8 months, and 16 days. Mother Frauger was for years, probably forty or upwards, a worthy member of the United Brethren church. She exhibited the characteristics of a true and devoted follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. For some length of, time before her death, her mental powers were so much impaired that she had become as a child, but she never uttered a single murmur, nor at any time manifested any thing like a fretful disposition. When asked, how she was, the reply always was—"Well: nothing to complain of." Her suffering time has closed, and her spirit now doubtlessly, dwells with God, where suffering and sorrow are known no more. She now joins, we trust, with a sainted husband, who passed the stream of death a number of years before her. She also meets her two sisters who made their transit in the same month with herself. A number of children, and a large circle of friends, are left to mourn their loss, but they mourn not as those who have no hope. May this dispensation of God's providence be sanctified to the good of all the surviving friends and may they so live that they may at last join with those who have gone before them to the glory land. A funeral sermon was preached by Rev T L Keesy.

Sister Barrick embraced the Christian religion some eighteen years ago, joined the church of the United Brethren in Christ and lived a consistent Christian until death. She was of a quiet disposition and was beloved by all who knew her. Her seat in the house of God was seldom empty. Her house was a home for the ministers of Christ. She died of a complicated disease in the triumph of living faith. She left behind her a husband and three daughters who are faithfully striving, by the grace of God, to meet her sainted spirit in the realm of eternal bliss.

Mary Thrailkill

Mary Thrailkill wife of Cravin Thrailkill, departed this life June 1, 1859, at her residence. near Warren, Huntington county, Ind., aged 55 years, 6 months and 16 days. Sister Thrailkill has been a member of church near twenty years: and, in that time. she strove, through grace, to live a consistent Christian before all men. Her house has been for year the home for the wayworn itinerant preacher; where he loved to sit down and refresh himself and he sheltered from the cold pelting storm of a winter's night Mother Thrailkill has been the subject of deep affliction for near two years. Her disease was a cancer in the throat, from which she suffered beyond description of the human tongue; yet she bore all her sufferings with resignation and fidelity and spoke of her departure with delight. A few days before she left the shores of time, she called one of her daughters to the bedside and spoke to her relative to her hope and said there has been a cloud over my mind for some time but the cloud is now passed away, and my pathway is lighted up by my Savior, who will lead me through the cold waters of death to my home in heaven. Just before she set sail for the glory world, she bid them all farewell, with the promise that they would meet her there. She then fell asleep in the arms of Jesus. She was the mother of nine children, four of whom had passed on before to welcome home their mother to the Paradise on high the other five, with their father, she leaves in the world to mourn their loss. May the good Lord comfort them through their afflictions, and lead them to that rest that .remaineth for the people of God. Funeral services by the writer, from Luke xiii. 26, to a large and respectable congregation.

Mary Ann Musser

Mary Ann Musser, wife of M. Musser, died in Portland, Ionia county, Michigan, July 23d, 1859, aged 39 years, 9 months, and 12 days. Sister M. enjoyed religion many years. She was one of the number that constituted the first United Brethren class in Grand river valley, in which she continued an ornament until her death. For many months she suffered from consumption. My last visit to the family, a few weeks before her death, was to me a very solemn interview. For herself she claimed the favor of God, but referred to her only daughter as the subject of the most intense anxiety. Estherette—just entering upon womanhood, surrounded by many unhallowed influences—she feared to leave in this world of many snares. But I am assured that she finally gave all into the hands of here heavenly Father with cheerfulness, and departed in full prospect of "a better country." In this providence an affectionate companion and mother is removed and the weary itinerant will also feel the loss. Funeral discourse July 25^th, by the writer, from 1 Thes. iv. 14.

John A. Booth

John A. Booth, youngest son of Wm. and Elizabeth Booth, died on Monday, Oct. 3, of inflammatory rheumatism, in Milton, Wayne county, Ind., aged 10 years, 6 months, and 2 days. The subject of this short notice was born in Mt. Joy, Lancaster county, Pa. When quite young, his parents emigrated to this state. Though young in years, in the commencement of his illness, he underwent a visible change, as was fully observed by those who attended him. He bore his affliction with remarkable patience. The few last hours of his illness were attended with unusual suffering. In his departure, his parents, brothers, and sisters, feel a great loss. We hope their loss is his eternal gain; having been taken in his juvenile days from the evils to come. Funeral services by Rev. John Fohl, minister of the U. B. church, who improved the occasion by a discourse on Romans xvii, first clause of 28^th verse, to a large and attentive audience.
