The Sullivan Review
March 23, 1893

Mary M., wife of Benjamin Thrasher, of Cherry, died February 14, aged 47 years two months and three days. The funeral, which was held at the Evangelical church in this place on Friday last, was very largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends.
Interment at Thrasher’s cemetery.
About a year ago deceased underwent an operation for removal of a cancer, and it was hoped that she would entirely recover. These hopes were destined to be of sort duration, for the trouble soon returned in a more malignant form and for months she had been a great sufferer. Her death, while a severe blow to her husband and friends, is a merciful release from pain, and the beginning of a life immortal. Rest in peace.
