Mrs. C. was a native of this town [Amherst NH], and daughter of the late Col. David M'G. Means. Her remains were brought here on Monday last, and deposited in the family vault. Her early life was spent here, till by the death of the parents, the family were broken up, and scattered abroad. But the ties of association and friendship, formed in her school days, with the youth of this village, will render her memory endeared and beloved by them, in the recollection of her amiable, complacent, and agreeable demeanor, and kind, companionable disposition. Her many relatives and friends mourn deeply her early departure.
