Died in Saratoga township, Feb. 9, Ella C., 22, wife of Frank Coan and daughter of Mr. Cornelius Huffman.

The sudden death of the young wife of Mr. Frank Coan, in Saratoga township, Monday night is an afflictive dispensation, which has cast a gloom over the entire communtity.

A happy family is thus destroyed, and a babe, 12 days old, is left motherless. Mrs. Coan surrenders her precious life that she might give life to her offspring.

She was the eldest daughter of Mr. Cornelius Huffman, and one of the most accomplished and lovely women on the prairie; a devoted wife, who made home so dear and precious to her husband.

We mourn with him in his grief, his desolation, and his disruption. It is indeed a trial hard to be borne.

The interment took place yesterday in the cemtery at Whitefield Center M. E. church, but the funeral sermon was deferred until Sunday a.m., Feb. 22, which will be preached by Rev. H. H. Hitchcock, at the above church.
