Death of Mrs. Murch
After a lingering illness and much suffering, Mrs. Sarah Ann Brewer, wife of Mr. A.B. Murch, departed this life on last Monday morning, January 24th, 1881, at the age of 50 years. Her disease was an internal cancer. For quite a number of years she had been in very poor health, and the last year suffered much, at times. A few months ago, with that everlasting hope, she thought she was getting better, and wished to be removed to town, where she would be under the immediate care of her physician (Dr. Clark), and accordingly Mr. Murch temporarily left his home in Fountain township, and took up residence here.
Mrs. Murch came here about 9 years ago, from Ohio, her husband having preceded her a year, and were consequently quite early settlers of this county. Besides him and a large circle of warm friends, she leaves a little girl of 11 years, an adopted child, to mourn the loss of a faithful and kind wife and mother. She was possessed of superior intelligence, and from her youth the most amiable and loving disposition has been worthy of remark -
"None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise."
Mr. and Mrs. M. had been married about 16 years. Her taking away is a very severe stroke to her husband, and in his sore bereavement he has the sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
The funeral services were held at Presbyterian Church on Tuesday, conducted by Rev. Bishop, of the Universalist Church. The closing ceremonies performed at the grave, in Highland Cemetery, by Mr. J.H. Elder, of the Swedenborgian Church, of which the deceased was a member. A large number paid their last respects to a departed friend and neighbor.

The death of Mrs. Murch has cast a gloom over this community, in which she had been a resident for nearly nine years, and had endeared herself to all her neighbors by her refined manners and kindness and hospitality. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to those sick or in affliction, and her memory will remain dear and sacred in the hearts of her neighbors and many friends. Although her death had been expected for some time, still when the news came that she was no more, it filled the hearts of all with sadness. Owing to the long distance, bad roads and cold weather, but very few of the neighbors went down to pay their last respects to the departed. Mr. Murch and their little daughter have the sympathy of the community in their great bereavement.
