Josephine Edmonia Podgett Fletcher’s Obituary
Fletcher- Died, at 208 Reservoir street, on December 6th, at 6 P.M., JOSEPHINE EDMONIA, wife of Joseph H Fletcher; aged 44 years. She passed away after a lingering illness, which she bore with Christian fortitude. Calm on the boson of thy God, Sweet spirit, rest thee now; Even while with us thy footsteps trod His seal was on thy brow. Dust to its narrow house beneath, Soul to its place on high; They that have seen thy look in death No more may fear to die. Lone are the paths and sad are the bowers Whence thy meek smile is gone; But oh, a brighter home than ours, in Heaven is no thine own. Funeral will take place from her lat residence THURSDAY, December 8th, at 10 A.M.
