man, in the 47th year of her age
In the death of this esteemed sister, q
void has been made of more than an ordi.
nary character. As neighbor and friend,
her kindness was almost uubounded; she
manifested disposition under all circum-
stances, to relieve distress wherever she
witnessed it, often forgetting her ownperSo-
nal interest and welfare in order to soothe
the bittep pangs Of disease, and tender con.
ISOLATION to the wounded heart. While she
was young, living at home under the pa
ternal roof, she was obedient and mindful
of honoring her father and mother, as a
dutiful child, especially in receiving their
kind and early instructions, which more
excmplifed It's effect III her life in advanc-
ed years, as she grew up to womauhood; as
a sister, she was ahcctOnate and attentive,
and those to whom she bore that tender
relation will feel most deeply their irrcpa-
rible loss; they will miss her sympathising
heart, that never beat but in unison with
