Person:Isabella Stockman (1)

Mrs. Isabella SHARP survived her husband twelve years, and reached the age of seventy-nine. She died August 20, 1873. The old lady was full of' life until a few days prior to her death. One cannot step on to the porch of the old homestead and fail to see the vision of her; neat black gown, snowy cap; and peeping out from under its dainty frills, a pair of eyes bright as the sun- beams that dance among the foliage, yet beaming with the tenderness that the needy will interpreted. She died as she lived, a model of the American women, a sincere Christian, beloved in the home circle, around which gathered the little family that was so near and dear to her.
