(From the "Richmond Dispatch," February 28, 1862:)

Died, in this city, on Tuesday, January 28th, after a brief and painful illness, MARY LOUISA, wife of Peter C. Warwick, Esq., in the 27th year of her age.

Seldom has death pointed his shaft at so bright and shining a mark. Gifted with a mind of the most refined order and character, and a person of exceeding loveliness, she won the admiration of every beholder wherever she appeared. But, alas! like a meteor, she is lost to our view and extinguished forever! The qualities of her heart full equalled those of her mind and person. Gentle and affectionate in her manners, she drew around her a wide circle of friends, who will keenly and deeply deplore her loss. In all the relations of life, as wife, mother, daughter, and sister, she was the beloved and cherished idol of her family. About two years ago she became a communicaut of St. Paul's Church, and since that period has proved a pious and consistent Christian-"adorning the doctrine of God, her Saviour," and setting an example of Christian charcter which added a halo of holiness and purity to her other winning qualities. Upon her afflicted husband and relatives this crushing blow will fall with stunning force; but from the bright bow of Heaven, where she now is, she bids them not weep. "She is not lost, but gone before."

Mary Louisa married Peter in Richmond on 19 May 1859. Her grave, near Peter in the Corbin Warwick plot, is unmarked.
