"Fairfield Ledger", Mar. 7, 1861, Pg. 3, Col. 1

DIED -- On Saturday, March 2d, 1861, at the home of her parents in Fairfield, Lucy A., fifth and last surviving child of Dr. John T. and Elizabeth HUEY, aged 1 year 8 months and 23 days. Year after year hath the King of Terrors visited the hearth stone of these our friends and neighbors, and as if to render the pangs of parting doubly afflicting, he has now made the first anniversary of a sister's funeral, the burial hour of the only remaining child.

On yesterday we were called to take a parting view of the form of sweet Lucy -- a year ago on yesterday, lovely Maggie's face was hid beneath the cold clay -- and now, while side by side their bodies lie in the cemetery, their spirits, we doubt not, are locked in each other's embrace, and roam together amid the pleasures and bright scenes of a purer and better world....
