On last Friday afternoon, at about 1 o'clock, the news became general that Mrs. Jacob Woitt (Nee Josie McCann) was dead, and many a one upon hearing the report, felt that grief which comes to us upon the loss of a good friend. It was not generally known that she had been ailing, although she had been under the care of a physician for some time, and to those who knew her best, the news of her death came a a severe shock.
Mrs. Woitt was the daughter of Asa McCan, one of our pioneers, and was well and favorably known in this city and vicinity. She was married less than a year ago, and started out in her married life with bright prospect, but the leveller of all humanity must interfer, and cut her off in the bloom of youth, having many friends to mourn her taking away.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in this city, the sermon being preached by Rev. Williams, pastor. The church was filled to capacity by the many friends of the deceased and her sorrowing family, who gather to pay tribute to a friend, well loved.
