Obituary.
In last week's paper we gave notice of the death, on Wednesday, December 6, 1882, of Mrs. D.W. Sutherland. The telegram reached us too late for more than the simple announcement.

Mrs. Anna A. Sutherland, whose maiden name was Espy, was born in Pennsylvania in October of the year 1849 and was 33 years of age at, the time of her death. She was the youngest of a family of, eight children, all of whom survive her except one brother, and all of those, with their aged mother, were present at her burial. Eleven years ago she was united in marriage to Mr. Donald W. Sutherland, and three little motherless boys are left to the care of their bereft father. Some five years ago she and her husband made an open profession of religion and united with the Presbyterian Church at Scotch Grove, Iowa. Less than a year ago Mr. Sutherland came to Manning and engaged in business. He built good residence early in the summer and moved his family here. At the organization of the Presbyterian Church in Manning they both gave in their names and letters and at once took an active part in the work of building a church at this place. Mrs. Sutherland was a woman of much influence and gave promise of being one of the best and most zealous workers in our little body. She was always cheerful, full of courage and a determination to do the work of the Master.

But this was not of long duration. Early in August, and with but little warning, she was taken with hemorrhage of the lungs. The flow of blood was so great that her life was despaired of from the first and it was not supposed that she would be able to get up, but the bleedings, though frequent, were fully checked and she grew strong though to be removed to Jones County among her friends. Here she lingered along growing weaker day by day, and becoming more reconciled to the fact that she must soon die until when the doctor told her a few days before the sad event that she could not live many days, she anxiously awaited coming of her husband to say to him that she should soon go to be with her Redeemer. Rev. Henry Cullen, who formerly preached in Manning was called to preach her funeral
