resided here up to the time of her departure for the West with her son's family.
She was well and favorably known to a large circle of friends and acquaintances
in the city and the annoucement of her death will be received with sorrow by many
who knew her best. Mrs. Sedgwick was a member of the Presbyterian Church and had
been an active supporter of the church and its works.
