Died in Barnard, Mar 81 Mrs. Flavilla
Stevens aged 81 years. In the death OF

an exemplary member of the NJ. +. church
for 90 years uniting with that society
" ben its house OF worship stood upon the
present site of the north burying ground.
Mrs. Stevens, since the death OF her hus-
band has lived alone, preferring a quiet

of friends. Her last sickness was quite
severe and painful but was borne with
great patience and resignation. A moth

members OF the family mourn not as those
without hope. BLESSED are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth /;
