ACKELSON, Mrs. Jane - Progressive Age March 31, 1858 Wednesday - Died in Coshocton March 16, 1858, Mrs. Jane ACKELSON, wife of Dr. Ackelson of consumption. Mrs. A. was a native of Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Early in life she united herself to the Secession Church, of which she continued a consistent member to the close of her life. The deceased was of a gentle and amenable disposition and bore the sufferings attendant upon her lingering sickness with unflinching patience and fortitude and finally departed in the full assurance that ?death was a gate of a better life?. She leaves behind a husband and two children to lament their irreparable loss. Her remains were taken to Pennsylvania for interment and were followed to the grave by her aged and heartstricken parents. She is cold in death but will never be forgotten.
