Mrs. S. will be long remembered by her friends and acquaintances for her many virtues. She died with a firm hope of eternal happiness.

Without a sign or groan,
Her spirit soared away,
To a world of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign,
Where endless day excludes the night
And pleasure banish pain.” B
