Died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Martin M. Ray, in Shelbyville, Ind., November 7th, 1874, Mrs. Nancy M. Cross, aged 77 years, 3 months and 18 days. Sister Cross, whose maiden name was Daniels, was born in Orange County, Virginia, and was married to Joshua Cross, October 18, 1818. She with her husband removed first to Kentucky and thence, 33 years ago, to Indiana. She was well known in Shelbyville, and known only to be loved and respected by all. She has been a member of the Christian Church for 37 years, and lived a most exemplary and godly life. She will be sadly missed in the home circle, in the community and in the congregation at whose services she was a constant attendant. Her earnest Christian faith and exemplary life are commended as worthy of imitation by all. Her triumphant death was the just sequence of a pious and devoted life, and those who witnessed it feel to exclaim with Prophet: "Let me die the death of the Righteous, and let my last end be like his." The funeral services were conducted by the writer, and a large concourse of citizens signified their regard for the deceased by attending her remains to the cemetery.
