FORTY YEARS AGO
FEBRUARY 8th, 1884

It is our painful duty this week to record the death of Miss Laura RHOADES, which occurred yesterday morning after a long lingering illness of that slow but fell destroyer, consumption. Miss Laura was one of the most charming, winning, beautiful and accomplished young ladies of our town, just blooming into womanhood, and her death causes a felling of sadness, sorrow, pain and regret to fill every heartin our town and vicinity.
