ONE by one they pass away. Mrs. Martha Hoff, wife of Mr. D. K. Hoff, passed quietly away, at her home near Clintonville, this county, on the night of the 31st ult. She had been a great sufferer for many months. Though provided with the best medical aid the hand of that unwelcome visitor could no longer be stayed. Mrs. Hoff was of cheerful disposition, a good business woman and noted for economy.
She was born at Locust Bottom, Botetourte county, Va., on the 28th day of January, 1829. Was, therefore, in her 68 year. Was married Sept. 26th, 1849. She was the mother of twelve children, ten of whom survived her, and, with an aged and feeble father, they mourn their loss.
She connected herself with the M. E. Church, South, when quite young, but never had her membership transferred from her native county. She often expressed her willingness to give up this life of pain that she might bask in the sunlight of the eternal city. She was laid to rest in the family burial ground by tender and loving hands, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives.
