AT REST

Mrs. James H. Ralston, Has Answered the Final Summons

Stricken With Apoplexy the Aged Sufferer Never Regained Consciousness and
Death Relieved Her of Her Sufferings

Mrs. James H. Ralston was stricken with apoplexy Monday, May 20th and died
Saturday, May 25th, without recovering consciousness. Her maiden name was
Sarah J. Hill. She was born at Hillsboro, PA, reared in Pomeroy, and was
married to Mr. Jas. H. Ralston at Cincinnati. After the war, in 1863, they
came to Middleport and have lived here ever since.

Four children were born of this marriage, three daughters and one son. Two
daughters and her husband survive to mourn the loss of a tender and
affectionate mother, and devoted wife. Mrs. Ralston was a woman of unbounded
charity and a friend to every one in need.

Her two daughters, Miss Jessie Ralston and Mrs. T. J. Palm, with her little
son, Ralston, came Saturday from Canton, O. Mr. Palm, and Mrs. Chas.
Saunder, of Chattanooga, Tenn., a sister of Mrs. Ralston, arrived Monday.
The funeral services were held at the house Wednesday, Rev. Thos. Turnbull
officiating. The burial was at Beech Grove Cemetery in Pomeroy.
