DIED - In this city, on Friday, June 17th, of consumption, Mrs.
Maria T. Peverley, wife of Samuel C. Peverley, aged 28 years, 5
months and 19 days.
Dear one, thou art free from earth's sorrows and pain,
We mourn for our loss, but we trust 'tis thy gain;
May our souls be guided in wisdom's pure way,
And meet thee at last in the heavenly day.
