["DIED—At Worthington, in Berlin, on the 28th June last, in her 92d year, widow Sarah Wilcox, shortly after a paralytic seizure. She was remarkable for the large number of her descendants : thirteen children, seventy grand children, a hundred and ninety one great grandchildren, and sixteen great great grand children ; all of them amounting to two hundred and ninety. It is probable they are actually more numerous, since one young man, who married and settled to the southward, has not been heard of for some years. She was followed to the grave by a train of one hundred and seventeen mourners.

"Of the character of this venerable matron, politeness and piety were the prominent features. The former was altogether unaffected, as it proceeded from the habitual benignity of her heart, unalloyed by the dissimulation which so often debases the character of persons conspicuous in fashionable circles. The latter was evinced by her habitual thankfulness to God for the common mercies of this life ; her contentment and patience amidst the growing infirmities of age ; her love to those, who, in her estimation, bore the image of Christ ; her appearing to act with a constant reference to the approbations of God, and an hereafter state ; her delight in religious exercises, and her exemplary attendance on public worship till a very late period ; and by the habitual strain of her conversation. Her mind was turned towards heaven, so as to give a tincture of spirituality to her discourse. At the same time she was entirely free from ostentation, and deeply humble. Like Moses, she knew not that her face shone. Thus has she diffused a fragrance which will not readily be dissipated; and, it is hoped, erected such a monument in the memory of her surviving relatives, as will have a salutary influence on them while they live. May they be careful to maintain a dignity of character suited to their descent from such an ancestor! 'And I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them!"
