HARN— At her residence near Moravia, Appanoose Co., Iowa, Jan. 16th, Mrs. FRANCES L., wife of Mr. T. Harn, (formerly of Fayette Co., Pa.,) aged 43 years, 11 months and 16 days.
Sister Harn, (once Miss Leighty,) possessed an amiable disposition, being naturally mild, her young spirit yielded to the sweet influences of a Savior’s love, and thus in early life she became the subject of the saving merits of His blood.
In the month of March, 1843, she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Hopewell, Fayette County, Pa., under the ministry of Rev. S. E. Hudson, and the following year removed to Masontown, where she was received by letter, and remained a working Christian, until, with her husband, in 1847, she went to the “far West,” and united with others in forming a new organization of the Church she so dearly loved, in the town of Moravia, Iowa. Here she lived in full communion until her Savior called her home. Sister H’s Christian virtues and exemplary walk will be fondly cherished by all who knew her. She has left a kind husband and ten children, as well as a large circle of relatives and friends both in Pennsylvania and Iowa to mourn that she is gone. But they “mourn not as those who have no hope, “for her last end was peace. May the Lord bless them all, and may all prepare to meet her in glory.
"Death stole in softness o'er her lovely face,
and touched each feature with a new-born grace,
On check and brow unearthly beauty lay,
Which told that life's poor cares had passed away.
In my last hour if Heaven be kind to me.
I ask no more that this--to die like thee"
