   Catherine Cain, wife of Thomas J. Myers, was born in Williams county, 
Ohio, April 8, 1844, and died at her home near Nevada Mills, Indiana, June 
11, 1903, aged 59 years, two months and three days.
   She was united in marriage to Thomas J. Myers, July 21, 1865.  She 
leaves a husband, four sons and four daughters, five brothers, ten sisters 
and nine grandchildren, to mourn her departure, one daughter having died 
in infancy.  She became a member of the M. E. church at Nevada Mills, in 
1893.  She has been a good, faithful wife and mother, all through life.  
She will be greatly missed by her many friends and neighbors.  Although 
severely afflicted for some time past, she has shown her Christian 
character and faith, and assured those who cared for her that she was 
prepared for her eternal home.

   Mrs. Catherine Myers died Thursday morning, after a painful illness of 
many weeks.  She was a patient sufferer and bore her trials and 
afflictions in this life without complaint.  The tie that bound the family 
together has now been severed, and her children can say, "What is home 
without a mother?"
