Death of a Good Woman
It becomes our duty this week to record the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Susan** Ahl, who expired at her residence, about two miles south of this place, on Friday night last at about 12 o'clock. Her disease was cancer of the liver, from which she suffered severely for a year or more. She was the widow of Adolph Ahl, who died in 1868 from the effects of wounds received by the discharge of a gun in the hands of Conrad Pfenning, who mistook him for a stranger entering his door-yard after nightfall for evil purposes, as he believed.
Mrs. Ahl was born in Baden, Germany, December 7th, 1826. For many years past she resided in this vicinity, and ever was held in the highest esteem by all her acquaintances, both German and American. She was noted for kindness, frugality, industry and honesty, as well as for self-sacrificing devotion to her children, nearly all of whom were small when her husband died. She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom, five boys and two girls survive her. All reside in this county excepting one son, Michael, whose home is in Nebraska.
The funeral took place on Sunday at one o'clock, with services in the M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. Thos. Harrison. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the church was well filled. The remains were deposited in the new cemetery**.

**In 1883 the land for what has become the Fairview Cemetery of Brownstown had just been acquired, the "new" burying grounds didn't have a name yet.
