13 April 1876
Letter from Prince William County
[Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette]
MANASSAS, April 12. Easter will be observed with appropriate services in the M. E. Church at this place, Rev. Mr. Otis preaching in the morning and the pastor at night. The month of May will be devoted entirely to special and appropriate services for young people.
Mr. [sic] Elizabeth B. Mitchell, consort of Geo. W. Mitchell, was born in Warren county, N.J. She united with the Presbyterian Church in early life, and ever lived a consistent and faithful member of the same. She died on Sunday evening at 7 1/2 o'clock, and was buried from her home on the 12th. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Charles King to a large and deeply-sympathizing audience.
Rev. Charles Nourse, of Georgetown, lectures on temperance at the Presbyterian Church next Saturday night. The recent effort to crush the leaders of this movement has not only failed, but has resulted disastrously to those engaged in it.
D. W. Whiting has resigned the Mayoralty of Manassas, and his paper, the Manassas Gazette, is in the hands of Constable Weeden.
K.
