Hatcher, Mrs. Elizabeth
Died - In New Lexington, May 8, 1866, Mrs. Elizabeth Hatcher, wife of Isaiah Hatcher, and daughter of Samuel and Mary Gordon, was born January 13th, 1841. As a child at home she was ever happy and affectionate in her disposition.  Life to her was sunshine that brought real joy. As an associate she was loved by all who knew her.  Her cheerful voice and kind smile, always gave cheer to the circle where she moved.  She became a member of the M. E. church in Somerset and rejoiced in the pardon of her sins when twelve years old.  She seemed to carry with her always a consciousness that she was a child of God; and that confidence in him made her cheerful, and kept her above despondency.  She was married to Mr. Hatcher, May 17th, 1860.  As a wife she was ever ready to make home happy and beloved, to this end, with affectionate devotion.  The winter succeeding her marriage, she was severely afflicted with Inflammatory Rheumatism, which left her with heart disease, the precise nature of which was never known.  For more than five years she bore this terrible suffering without a murmur.  She trusted in God and felt that "He doeth all things well."  Her death scene was one of great peace and of christian triumph.  She longed to be at rest. Though she loved her friends, husband and infant child much, yet she loved Jesus and cheerfully gave up earth to follow where he called.  Her remains were followed to the grave by a large and sympathetic gathering of people.  A discourse was preached by Rev. R. W. Manly, her former pastor, from Phil. I.21, "To die is gain."

Heffley, Lucy
Mother of B&O Engineer Heffley this City Dies at Somerset. The death of Mrs. Lucy Heffley, whose funeral at Holy Trinity occurred on Saturday last, becomes our sad office of notice.  She was the mother of twelve children, nine of whom survive her.  These are George, James, Edward and Mark of Elkhorn, Nebraska, Albert of Newark, William of Junction City, with John, Adam and Elizabeth at the old homestead.  She was the beloved and honored wife of Mr. George Heffley one of the substantial center posts of this community.  Her age was near the figure 70, and last June marked her golden wedding day to her stricken and honored husband.  The funeral procession from her home four miles west of here was a long, a sad and emphatic tribute to the virtues of one who was born, reared and educated and whose life finally ended within the boundaries of one mile square or nearly so.  She was the sister of Mr. Mark Gordon of this county, and George Gordon, of Arcola, Ill, and of Mrs. David Hewitt of this town.  In her death relatives, friends and community have lost a bright and worthy exempler (sic) of all the virtues which adorn, endear and dignify female character and the family circle.
