from this life was sudden, after short sick
ness, and at time when her family seemed
most to need her presence and care. Mrs.
Buckley was strikingly lovely and Affection

Protestant Episcopal church, and her afflic-

consolation, that she was herself sustained
and cheered in her last hours by the hopes
and grace of the holy religion she had so
long professed.
On Sunday the 29th, her remains were
carried into St. MichaePs church, where the
solemn burial service was performed, and an
immense congregation manifested the res~

who does not willingly grieve, support and
