Obituary
Died. Sprague - In this city, Sept 14th, 1874, at 4 A.M., Julia M. Sprague, aged 59 years and I months.
When one who has walked in our midst for years; one so universally beloved, passes away forever, it is property that brief words of tribute should mark the event. Eminently endowed by nature, together with more than ordinary educational and social advantages in early like, those who knew her in after years testify to her [illeg] to adorn any station in life into which it hath pleased God to call her. Schooled in adversity "bright as the morning star" will her memory shine in the hearts of the many whom she connected as a mother, strengthened in well-doing, enfolded in the longing charity of her brave, true heart.
Not soon will be forgotten the beautiful example of such a life. Verily, she hath done what she could. And now Rest remaineth, Oh! how blest, We believe and we have rest. Faith, repealing faith, hath been, Mongst the things that are not seen. Mineral Point Tribune Sept 17, 1874
