Death

Miss Custus [sic], daughter of Mr. Job F. Wingard of the Fork, and sister to Col. J. Brooks Wingard of this place, died at the home of her father on Wednesday, the 23rd instant, from the effects of an attack of typhoid fever. Up to three years ago save one day, Miss Custus was the picture of blooming womanhood, but in an accident, in which her mother was killed, by horse running away, she sustained injuries from which she never recovered. She was a cultured, refined and an accomplished young woman of twenty-nine years, whose lovable disposition won her way into the hearts of friends and acquaintances.
