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.
