From the Sturgis Journal, March 1862

DIED:

In Sturgis, March 6th, suddenly, of congestion of the lungs, Sarepta Hatch, wife of Harvey Hatch.

The subject of this notice was sick but a few days and scarcely had her neighbors heard of her illness before she was laid low in the cold embrace of death. The deceased has lived in this place for many years and was well known and appreciated by a large circle of friends who now mourn the loss of her society. She was an affectionate and confiding wife a true and faithful mother to her children, by whom she was highly respected and many a silent tear will fall when they think of the loss they have sustained.

Well do we remember the conversation we had with the deceased not many weeks since in relation to a future life about which she had many doubts and fears. She listened with interest to the arguments we advanced in support of the glorious act that man survives the chemical changes in death and at that period out throws off the material (?) of this rudimentary condition, to assume a more glorious garb in the bright morning summer land in the spirit home. But she has gone. The pleasing smile whit which she used to greet her friends, will no more be seen on earth. She lies cold in the icy arms of death but her spirit has glided away to this far off land of the spirits' home. We mourn not as those without hope.
