With the sincere regret which always accompanies the death of an estimable person, we announce the decease on the night of the 4th of July, of Mrs. Almira Champlain, mother of Mrs. P.P. Smith and Mrs. W. B. Jones. This lady was born in Fairfield, Vermont in 1797 and came to this city, then, an almost unbroken wilderness, in 1843 being one of the very first settlers, her husband, Mr. H.H. Champlain, having come here the year previous and purchased the Conroe Lumber mills near what is now the village of Clarks Mills. She had been an invalid for the past thirty-five years, was a kind-hearted, patient and truly Christian lady, had a very retentive memory and being a great reader, her mind was stored with information of so extensive a character that she was entertaining in conversation and a favorite among all. The immediate cause of her death was disease of the brain. Her decease although, at her age, not unlooked for, has been a terrible blow to those nearest and dearest to her and we take pleasure in assuring them that the sympathies of a large circle of sincere friends are tendered them and that they are not alone in their sorrow -- for every one who had the pleasure of Mrs. Champlain's acquaintance feel that the mantle of death has fallen over one who during life might well be held up for emulation as embracing all those qualities which go to make mankind what it should be. Peace to her ashes.
