"On August 26, 1825, Mr. and Mrs. Smith met with the deepest affliction of their lives in the death of their daughter Julia. She was a beautiful and affectionate girl, just budding into womanhood, and was generally beloved throughout the little village. She was taken violently ill and in a few hours, the bright, promising, loving girl, the pride and joy and blessing and hope of tender parents, and the valued and dear companion of many youthful friends, was dead. In the long after years of life, Mrs. Smith could never hear her name mentioned without shedding tears". (Amherst Bee, c. 1890)
