DIED
Died, April 26th, of pneumonia, at the residence of her brother, Geo. S. Hoppin, esq., in Niles township, Maria M. Hoppin, in the 62d year of her age.
The grave had hardly closed over the remains of the mother when she, who had been the devoted self-sacrificing daughter and inseparable companion closed her eyes in death. Her health had been failing for some time, but the friends hoped that needed rest would restore her. About a week ago she was smitten with pneumonia, and although everything was done that skill or love could suggest, she continued to sink until Tuesday evening when she died. She came to Niles with her father's family in 1844, and was known by all as an earnest Christian, a devoted lover of home and one who counted no self denial too great that would bring happiness and pleasure to her friends. Her sister and brother have the heartfelt sympathy of all our people in this, their triple bereavement
