She died among strangers;and of her numerous relatives nad
friends left to
lament her loss, none were present during her sickness and death
except her
husband; who tenders his sincere thanks for the marked kindness

of strangers, manifested towards so worthy an object as the
deceased.
She died as she had long lived, a brilliant example of redeeming
grace; and
a faithful witness of the truth and efficacy of the blessed
religion of
Christ, as revealed to man in the Word of God.
Her last words were "come Lord Jesus, come quickly and
rescue my spirit.".
Requiescat in pace.
