"DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE LADY
Mrs. Therese L., wife of John C. Bullitt, Esq., died on Saturday at her late residence, No. 2009 Spruce street. Mrs. Bullitt was a lady of rare attractiveness. She was possessed of a fine mind and a beautiful character, the predominant characteristic of which was true judicious charity. Mrs. Bullitt was one of those practical Christians who become veritable ministering angels among the sick, the poor and the distressed. Apart from her numerous and incessant private charities she endowed beds in hospitals, and contributed freely toward the support of many benevolent institutions, that portion of her good works, however, being [do...] just as ostentatiously as were her private visits to those whose sorrowing hearts her gentle presence gladdened. The social [chu...] which Mrs. Bullitt was an ornament, will [..tain] a severe loss in her demise, but many a poor sick child or struggling widow will even more keenly feel her loss."
