"DIED
In Lafayette, at a quarter past two o'clock on Tuesday morning last, at
the residence of her son-in-law MR. J.D. SMITH, MRS. SARAH BEMISS
(relict of ELIJAH BEMISS, late of Cincinnati)in the 66th year of her
age. The deceased was a native of Montville, New London Co.,
Connecticut, but for many years a resident of the West, and for the last
six years a citizen of Lafayette. She has left a large circle of
relatives and friends, to whom as a tender and affectionate mother, a
kind and attentive friend, and a pious and exemplary Christian, she was
greatly endeared. Their loss is doubtless her gain. She died in the full
hope of a blessed immortality."

In this town, on Friday last, the 20th instant, MRS. MARY JEWETT, wife
of Doct. LUTHER JEWETT, of this place, and daughter of COL. ELLIS COBB,
of Barton, Vermont. She was married at her father's hte 6th of July
last, and removed here with her husband, apparently in good health, and
in two weeks after her arrival, he was called to weep for her untimely
death. She was attacked with fever on Wednesday evening, the 11th
inst., and all the exertions of the kindest neighbors and attentive
physicians to restore her to health, and the society of those friends
she had just come among, proved utterly unavailing. All who knew her,
sincerely mourn her loss.--Communicated."
