Died – On Sunday morning, the 14th inst. At Pittsford, Monroe co., after a long and protracted illness, which she bore with much fortitude, CATALINA, consort of Ezra W. Acer, and daughter of Garret and Frances Stephens, formerly of Schenectady, aged 23 years.
From her childhood up, Mrs. A. was remarked for her evenness of temper, her quiet spirit, her sedate and unobtrusive manners. As in health, so in sickness, the same submissive and uncomplaining spirit prevailed; not a murmur or complaint was uttered by her during a protracted and painful sickness of eight months. She was a dutiful daughter and an affectionate wife and sister, tender mother and kind neighbor. We know that we speak the feeling of those best acquainted with her, when we say that very few possessed that syminetry of character which she sustained in all the relations of life.
Though possessing so many moral virtues, yet she had a clear view of the insufficiency of all earthly good, and was led to trust alone in the merits of a Saviour – unable to converse much during the last three months, from extreme weakness, but still expressed a quiet and tranquil hope of acceptance with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
