In the town of Wirt, Allegany county, N. Y., April 6th, 1877, after an illness of a number of weeks, which she bore with Christian patience and resignation, Mrs. Lavina Kenyon, wife of Joel Kenyon, Esq., in her 74th year.

Ever since settling in Allegany, they have lived in the same neighborhood, and for more than forty years, on the same farm. They lived together as husband and wife, fifty-three years. She was borne to the grave by two sons, three sons-in-law, and one grandson. Though she is dead, yet shall she live again. W. B. G.
