Clara [Kenyon] only daughter of Lemuel and Lydia F. Ackley and wife of Tiffany T. Kenyon, died May 15th, 1878, aged eighteen years and twenty-seven days.  She was always frail, yet the struggle between life and death was long and her sufferings great.  If the untiring attention of loving friends could have lured her back to health, her presence would still enliven the home now made desolate by her departure.  She was her mother's comfort and the joy and pride of her father and brothers, and yet one came with a love so pure and strong, that he took the foremost place in her affections.  But the bride of five short months is taken from his embrace and early in life he drinks of that bitter cup of whose dregs none know but those who have been called to drain it. The funeral services were attended by Rev. A.J. Cook, at the Baptist Church, which was filled with sympathizing friends and surrounded by the freshness and beauty of this springtime, with tears they laid that precious body away to rest.  The years may come and go, and life's duties press heavily upon those left behind, but in their hearts will be a place ever sacred to the memory of the gentle loving one, who has gone from their midst.  Mouton Vision, Juen 7th, 1878.

Deaths

In this town [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY], on the 9th inst., Mrs. Catharine Lewis, wife of Mr. Morgan Lewis, aged 42 years.

Mrs. Lewis professed religion three years since, under the ministry of Rev. Mr. Serles.  For two years she had fully united herself with the M.E. Church, in the communion of which she remained through life.  Her evidence of adoption was clear and satisfactory - her peace like a river. Thus, she lived, - by her life and conversation, showing forth the power of religion.  She loved the means of Grace and in it her soul delighted.  For the last eight months she was confined to the house and for some part of that time to a sick and suffering bed, but grace triumphed.
