Died, at her residence in this village, on the 8th instant, at 12 o'clock noon, Mrs. Minerva Don Carlos, wife of J.V. Don Carlos. Mrs. Don Carlos was a native of NH, but has been for many years a resident of this county. She was married 39 years ago, leaving a husband and a married daughter, 3 sisters, and one brother, together with a host of friends to mourn on account of her departure. She was converted when but 14 years of age and was a member of the M.E. Church of this place. She was a very active member of the Ladies' Aid Society, and perhaps her activity in this direction may have led to her untimely death. The society gave a dinner and supper on the 6th, at Richie Hall, and she was very active in the duties all day and late at night. She left feeling unwell, continuing to grow worse until her death on Thursday as stated. Mrs. Don Carlos was a Christian lady, generous, affable, and energetic. The Ladies' Aid Society loses one of its most effective workers, the community a charitable neighbor, the church an exemplary member, and the home a faithful wife and mother. Funeral was preached on Saturday morning, after which her remains were laid to rest in the Georgetown Cemetery.
