On Wednesday night last, Mrs. Mary Cathcart, mother of the late John Cathcart, died at her residence on West 7th Street, after an illness of several months. Mrs. Cathcart was seventy-three years of age on the day of her death. She was respected and beloved by all who knew her, for Christian character and amiable disposition. Her daughters, the wives of Hugh McQuiston and Prof. Wilson of Monmouth, Ills., were with her several weeks previous to her death, but were compelled by sickness in their families to return home, so were not able to be at her bedside when she died.
