Died: At Rathboneville, Steuben Co., N.Y., on the 27th July, Mrs. Catharine Rathbone, wife of Gen. Ransom Rathbone, in the 67th year of her age. She was the daughter of Capt. John Fisher, an Englishman, and when an infant, removed with her parents to the city of New York. Miss Catharine Fisher was thoroughly educated to excel in all the departments of female life. And when a fair and graceful maiden, she visited in 1807 a female friend in Oxford. Gen. Rathbone, a young and enterprising merchant of Oxford, had the good sense to discover and the good fortune to marry this inestimable treasure of love and goodness. They commenced their married life in the beautiful valley, of the Chenango. The graceful manners and varied accomplishments of Mrs. Rathbone, aided by a munificent husband, tendered her home the resort of the most refined society, where wit, genius and learning loved to assemble. She was the morning star of light and life and joy. The love of God was the pervading beauty of her life, and gave to her presence the charm that ever distinguished her. At Oxford she passed her happiest days. She was then in the bloom of youth, when Nature lays upon the lap of life her sweetest flowers. With a husband, who never ceased to love and honor her, and surrounded by sons and daughters of beauty, this accomplished lady passed her long virtuous career, through the varied joys and sorrows of earth. One of her earliest friends, who knew her well, and appreciated her surpassing goodness as a wife and as a mother, pays to her memory this sad tribute of affection and esteem. The word of her Heavenly Father was the guide of her early life, and she has received the reward of immortality in the Paradise of God.
