Bly, Ind., March 28, 1890 The citizens of this vicinity were surprised and thrown into much excitement last Wednesday morning, the 26th inst., on account of the sudden death of Rachel R., wife of Charles Dalrymple, and daughter of Harrison and Jane Bays. This young couple had been married just two months when death separated them. They had not gone to house-keeping yet, but were living with Henry Dalrymple, Charley's father. On the day of her death Charley, Henry Dalrymple and wife went to Peter Frantz's barn-raising, about three-fourths of a mile away. At noon Charley went home and found his wife enjoying herself playing a French harp, apparently in good health, and ate a hearty dinner. Afterwards Charley said he would go to his ditching on the farm and she accompanied him as far as the barn to look after some matters there. She then remarked that she was not feeling well. He expressed the hope that she would soon feel better; if not to notify him and he would come to the house. But before h! e reached his work he was summoned to the house by the ringing of the bell and found his wife very sick and helpless. The parents were notified and Dr. Garrett, of Liberty Centre, sent for immediately. The parents arrived a few moments before she expired, but before the Doctor could arrive death had done its work and her spirit had taken its flight to the spirit world. It was only about half an hour from the time she complained till she was dead. Death is supposed to have been caused by rupture of the heart. Funeral services were held in the church at his place on Thursday at 2 oo'clock p.m., conducted by Elder Johnson, of Liberty Centre, in the presence of a large and sympathetic audience, after which the remains were interred in the Mossburg cemetery. Mrs. Dalrymple leaves a young husband, a father and mother, three brothers and three sisters, besides a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. James T. Mossburg.
