Obituary

Died near Collierstown, VA. March 16th. Mrs. Ann Ford, wife of Jacob Ford of Rockbridge. The aged pair were at last separated after a union of about sixty years, by what we usually call an accident. Mrs. Ford's death resulting from injuries received in a fall. She died at the age of 77 years, leaving her life partner at the age of 87. She lived about three weeks after her fall, suffering greatly until she became unconscious. How forcibly does this Providence repeat to us all the exhortation of the preacher: ' Remember now thy Creator, before the silver cord be loosed, of the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel at the cistern: then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
