Died at her father's residence, in Drayton, Nov. 5th, after ten months of lingering illness, induced by a severe cold, caught while nobly aiding in the dead of night to extinguish a fire that raged in a neighbor's dwelling. During her sickness religion sustained and comforted her. She expressed from the first, and at the last, unshaken confidence in the Savior and surrounded by her friends, who came with her to the brink of the river, she passed away, trustingly and peacefully leaning upon the arm of God. Her death was improved by the writer, from Heb. xi. 4, to a congregation of over 500 people, who followed her remains to the family burial-ground. She "being dead yet speaketh to many." God grant she may neither have lived nor died in vain
