OBITUARY.
Endeared to a large circle, and
highly esteemed in this city, her native
home, the decease of Mrs. Laumaster
as announced on Thursday last was
shock indeed to this community.
Though somewhat complaining during
the summer, but at no time confined
to the house, she was suddenly stricken
with paralysis on Saturday evening,
October LIST. Though attended by the
highest medical skill, her malady.
proved fatal, and at early dawn on
Thursday she fell gently asleep. In
her death Burlington sussains the loss
of one, whose amiabIe, gentle, and re-
firing but energetic disposition, large
hearted but unobtrusive charities, and
strict consciousness in the discharge
of Christian duty in conformity with
the tenets of the Baptist church Of
which she was devoted member
many years, will ever be gratefully
cherished and recalled as bright ex-
ample of unsullied worth and consis-
tent piety. She leaves husband,
three married daughters and one SOD,
not to mourn her loss, but to rejoice,
knowing that for her to die-swas
gain"
