HOYL, Mrs. – (d. 1872)

DIED — In this place, at half past eleven o’clock, on Tuesday night last, of congestion of the lungs, Mrs HOYL, wife of the Hon. John B. HOYL. The death of Mrs H was sudden and unexpected. The Judge was absent from holding Court at Decatur, Meigs county.– He was sent for on Tuesday evening and arrived at home at 5 o’clock on Wednesday morning, and found his wife a corpse. Our whole people deeply sympathize with the Judge in this sad bereavement.  She was a most estimable lady, and her death is deplored by all.  She was aged about 30 years. Obituary next week.
