Naples, N. Y. - I have just learned of the sudden death, this morning (Monday), of Mrs. Elmira (sic) Alvira
Tobey, the wife of our oldest merchant, Mr. Lyman Tobey. This is another crushing blow to our society. Mrs. Tobey was a most excellent woman and endeared to a large circle of relatives and friends. She had been complaining of a cold and had been somewhat sick, but no one had any apprehension of her death. Heart disease was doubtless the immediate cause. Her aged mother, Mrs. Byington, who has been sick for some time and whose demise was not unexpected, still lives, while her daughter has been taken, leaving her family who needed her presence and care in the deepest grief. Surely the ways of Providence are inscrutable.
