She was a devout member of the First Presbyterian church and was affliated with the Maccabees.

S. Fish
WEDNESDAY, JULY 5, 1865 COLD BLOODED MURDER.--Several of our citizens were witnesses of one of the most cold blooded murders it has ever been our fortune to chronicle, on Friday morning of last week. The facts are as follows: Mr. S. FISH has been stopping with an acquaintance, in the east part of town, for a few days, and with the exception of a growing anxiety for his guest's welfare, Mr. F. had noticed nothing remarkable in the conduct of his host, but on the morning in question, was around by the whetting and murderous flourishes of a knife in the hands of his entertainer, who without a word of warning, made a sudden dash with his left hand, at Mr. F., while with the other he held poised aloft the murderous blade. Mr. F. eluded his grasp, plunged into a large tank of water near at hand, and being an expert swimmer, the assassin was for a time foiled, but drawing a plug from the tank, he soon captured Mr. F., and literally severed his head from his body. The most intense excitement prevailed, and for a time it was hoped Judge LYNCH's court would be convened but through some inexplicable blundering, the murderer escaped, and all efforts to discover his whereabouts have proved unavailing.

Winthrop Foote M. D.
AUGUST 07, 1856 OBITUARY. DIED, in Bedford, Lawrence county, Ind., on Friday morning at 3 o'clock, WINTHROP FOOTE, M. D., after a lingering illness, in the 89th year of his age. The simple record of the death of such a man is not enough. It is due that his many and manly virtues be recorded as an incentive to like worth. He was a man of much energy and firmness of character, upright in his dealings with others, and a citizen whose loss is deeply deplored, and whose place will not soon be supplied. As a practitioner he stood second to none--sharing a more full and complete confidence of the community then is common. Nor was their confidence unmerited or misplaced; his success in the treatment of disease fully entitled him to it. As a scholar he was thoroughly practical, as well as scientific. As a man, a citizen, and a neighbor, his character was without reproach. May his many noble deeds and virtues live in the memory of his friends, while his few follies be forgotten, as he was only mortal. His remains were deposited in the vault east of town, followed by the bereaved family and a numerous concourse of friends. G. W. J. M. D.
