Elizabeth Ridgely, the sixth child of the said H.M. and Sarah Ridgely, was born at Dover on Saturday the 27th day of February 1813 at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock a.m. and died at Dover on Tuesday morning the 12th day of February 1933 about day break and was buried on the evening of the next day in the burial ground of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Dover. In the Spring of 1829 she had the measles: soon afterwards her breath became affected and she went into a consumption of which she died. Lovely in form and face, she possessed a heart filled with benevolence and a temper of great sweetness. She was a most dutiful daughter and a most kind and affectionate sister. Affable and courteous in society, she was beloved by all her acquaintances. Her dying bed exhibited the triumph of the Christian religion over the tenors of death. A calm composure and perfect resignation supported her through all her sickness and her sufferings. She retained her senses to the last and resigned her soul into the hands of her God in the confident hope and assurance of everlasting happiness through the merits of her Lord and Saviour.
