Nancy Ann Williams Cantwell

January 4th, 1850, Nancy Cantwell, wife of William Cantwell in the seventy-first year of her age.
In her usual health she retired to rest; in the evening and, after a moment's conversation with her aged companion assumed an easy posture of the body and soon fell asleep. In the morning she was called to breakfast but could not be awakened - she had slept the sleep of death: apparently, without a struggle, the spirit left the body and passed to its long sought rest. Forty-six years had she been a worthy member of the militant Church and though her seat in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Mansfield, Ohio is now vacated, and an aged companion with a large circle of relatives, is left to mourn, she has, without doubt, reached her home in heaven. Calmness, firmness and consistency, marked her Christian course; and the sweet expression left on the cold clay, taken in connection with the uniformity of her life, satisfies all who knew her that her end was peace.
