For The Cecil Whig.
OBITUARY.

DIED at the residence Of Vim. r. Allen
Esq, in Burlington New Jersey, on Fra
,lay the 5th inst, Mrs. ELIZABETH ELLIS,
Cons ort OF Mr.. Rowland Ellis, Of this
County, in the SSH year of her age.
The deceased and her now bereaved hus-
band had left home on the Monday pre-
vious, intending to spend some time a
mong their relatives and friends in Phila-
delphia and New Jersey, with view TO
the Improvement of her health. About
S O'Clock on the morning of her decease,
she was attacked by complaint t. which
she had long been subject, "a disease of
the heart and in less than half an honr,--
before medical assistance could be pro-
cured, and in despite of every effort to al
ford her relief By The anxious friends who
surrounded her bcd-sde-she expired.
1t is seldom. that we are called upon
to record the death Of one in whom the
brighter excelencies Of the female char
actef have been more happily concentra
ted than in the lamentcd subject Of this
tribute of affection. To the most enga-
cling genteness of manner, and the quiet
meekness of an unobtrusivc piety, she
united in all eminent degree, those virtues
which distinguish the fond and induIgeni
paren,-the faithful and conlid;ng wife
and the sincere, and ardent friend.
All who knew her well, can testify 10
her unweayied assiduity, in the discharge
of her various duties as wife, q mother,
and the mistress of family, and many
will reco!lcct how observant she was OF
kind and friendly attentions 10 all around
her-how social and cheerful in her dis
position, and although the whitening con.
seriousness Of innate disease threw lis blight
over all her erjoyments, still was she al
ways kind and attentive TO the comfort
and happiness Of her friends.
The deceased was the daughter of Mr.
James T'hackara, formerly of this county.
In early life she was married to Mr.. Jacob
Hyland of Elk Neck, by whom she had a
number of children, who are called upon
by this affective dIspensation Of provi-
dence,,o mourn the loss ola dear and ycn-
Grated parent, whose virtues will long lie
cherished in their remembrance.
After the death Of Mr.. iiyland having
lived widow surrounded by children
some six years-sl was in Il e year 1881
united in marriage to her late husband,
Mr.. Ellis, whose children soon became de-
votedly attached TO her.
Perhaps one of the best evidences Of
the exemplary character of the deceased
is TO be found in the judi cious yet tender
and aiiactonate manner in which she
performed, the delicate aud important
trust ola step mother; securing 10 herself
The love and respect OF all With whom
She was thus connected.
Her sudden and unexpected decease has
left blank in thc large circle Of her
friends which can never be filed. Long
and deeply will the children Of both pa
rents and the bereaved partner him sell,
now bending under the weigh. of years
and the accumulated cares OF u long ard
active pigrimage,-long and deeply will
they suffer from tie iFrcragGble loss they
have sustained.
They will however be enabled to draw
much consolation, from the reflection that
mp to the last moment Of her life, it was
their PLEASURE as well as duty 10 minister
10 her comfort and TO smooth the lhorny
path of life by the hands of unwearied
and ever watchful ailectioni ''sorrc wing not
as those who have no hope" believing that
her translation from this; has been in the
glorious hope Of brighter ard better
world.
''That her spirit has FLED from this world of sin
70 its last long home of rest" +.
