As we pluck from the bush the most beauteous rose, so hath He who rules on high, for his own wise purpose, taken from us one of the fairest and loveliest flowers
of the garden.
Render, pause and reflect on what is here recorded of one most dearly loved; so young, so buoyant in spirit, so pure in thought, so affectionate and warm in
friendship, reserved and modest in her deportment; conscientious and fervent in her religious devotion; so beloved by all; she, who was but lately in the pride and
bloom of health, is now no more. She is gone, forever gone.
In the trying scene let the weeping husband, parents, brothers and friends remember that “their loss is her eternal gain,” and that if they live as she lived, and die as
she died, they will surely meet her again in the celestial worlds above.
Her lamp was trimmed, and burning bright
When her young spirit took its flight
To an eternal home.
She’s gone to heaven—go meet her there;
Where no more sorrow sin or care
To her shall ever come.

OBITUARY:
Died at her residence in this county, on the 27th of March, Mrs. ELIZABETH STOCKDON, in the 79th year of her age. She leaves eight children, four sons and four
daughters, to mourn her loss.
A member of the Society of Friends, she nevertheless extended the hand of fellowship to other denominations of Christians. She lived to see all her children and a
number of her grandchildren in communion with the different churches of the land. A true mother was she to her children, watching over them with tender care in
their earlier years, sympathizing with them and giving wholesome counsels in the stern realities of riper age. Now they stand up and call her blessed.
Many travelers will long remember her kindness. For a long series of years her husband kept public house, and she manifested the rare tact of making every one who
came about her comfortable and happy. It is only a little over a year since her husband died; to him she was devotedly attached, and ever since his death she has been
waiting with patient concern for their reunion above. Her afflictions in this world have been long and severe, but she was perfectly resigned to everything her great
Master was pleased to send upon her. Now her sufferings are all over. She died in peace. She was one of the most affectionate wives, devoted mothers, and kind
mistresses.
“Weep for the dead! For well ye may
They’ll greet ye nevermore,
While on this darksome vale ye stay!
But on that brighter shore
They wait to welcome you when all
Your mission is fulfilled;
Where death’s grim face can ne’er appall
And sorrow’s moans are stilled.” S. H.H.

No more amid error and peril to roam;
His eyes are no longer dim;
His feet will no longer falter;
No grief can follow him,
No pang his cheek can alter.
There are paleness, and weeping, and sighs below,
For our faith is faint, and our tears will flow;
But the harps of heav’n are ringing,
Glad angels come to greet him;
And hymns of joy are singing,
While new friends press to meet him.
Gussie, beloved, to earth unconfined,
Thou has soared on high, thou hast left us behind;
But our parting is not forever!--
We will follow thee by heaven’s light,
Where the grave cannot dissever
The souls whom God will unite.

And raise it pure and undefiled
To mingle with the just.

OBITUARY: The late AUGUSTUS STAUB, who came to his death in so awful and sudden a manner, on Sunday morning last, was born in Obersdorf, Saxony, on the
12th of December, 1809, where he became a full member of the established Church of Saxony, (the Lutheran) in 1823.
He subsequently emigrated to the United States, and was for several years engaged in the Jewelry business, by which he amassed a competency, (so as to render his
circumstances in a temporal point of view, easy;) he finally located in this place, and joined the Moravian Church, in 1849,of which remained a full member up to the
time of his death.
He was a good, honest, industrious and useful citizen of our community, whose place, in many respects, will not be easily supplied.—Some years since, he
commenced a Vineyard and Nursery in the vicinity of this place, which occupied the greater part of his time and attention.
As regards his spiritual life, he was not very communicative. He was upright in his dealings, a regular attendant at church, and an active member of the Sons of
Temperance and the Young Men’s Missionary Society. He appeared to enjoy his usual health and spirits, up to within a few hours of the time when the accident at the
hotel occurred which caused his death, although he is represented by some as having been in rather an unusually serious mood, on Sunday evening.
His age was 48 years, 7 months and 22 days.
In Waughtown, on Saturday evening, Mrs. ELIZABETH WAUGH, relict of the late JAMES WAUGH, Esq. aged 69 years. Mrs. Waugh was respected and esteemed
by all who knew her, and leaves a numerous circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
OBITUARY: DIED, at her residence in Waughtown, on the evening of the 25th inst., Mrs. ELIZABETH WAUGH, relict of JAMES WAUGH, aged 69 years 1 month
and 9 days—after a short but painful illness of three weeks, which she bore with Christian patience and resignation. Seldom have the ties of this life been loosened
with sorer grief and deeper affliction.
She was a most affectionate wife, the best and most tender of mothers, a true friend, benevolent neighbor, and kind indulgent mistress.
The mild virtues which grace and soften life, shed their bright beams along her path here on earth, and the gentle beneficent influences of a pure Christian
benevolence, smoothed the pillow of death, and cheered her onward with evident manifestations of future bliss.
In her youth she embraced the religion of Christ, and continued an examplary and consistent member of the Methodist Church, down to the day of her death.
By her orderly walk and example, she so ingratiated herself into the favor and affections of her acquaintances and friends, as to gain and retain their love and
confidence.
She was perfectly aware of the impossibility of recovery, several days before her death.—Calmly and composedly she heard her fate, and exclaimed that she was
ready and willing to depart, if it were God’s will to call her hence.
All that medical skill, with the sleepless attention of relatives and friends could avail, was done to restore her to health; but it was otherwise ordered; and her body now
lies in the narrow tomb, but her immortal spirit, we humbly trust and believe, is basking in the sunshine of God’s favor.
To her distressed relations and friends is vouchsafed the gift of knowing that their loss is her eternal gain.
August 14, 1857

SAD AFFAIR—We learn that Mr. ADAM KLUTTS, of this county, in a fit of derangement, cut his throat on Wednesday last. Some four months ago he
lost by death two children, which affected his mind very much, and on Sunday night the 15th he was so much deranged as to cause alarm, and a
guard was kept over him for several days. On the day he cut his throat, appearing so much better, he walked out early in the morning to wash his face
and hands, when he slipped over to the shop of MOSES LINGLE, about a quarter of a mile distant, and seized a drawing knife, did the deed. He is
suffering very much, but strong hopes are entertained of his recovery. Salisbury Herald
