Possessed of those generous, liberal, and refined feelings and sentiments that distinguish the virtuous of her sex, she had conciliated the esteem of all her acquaintances. During nearly 6 months that she was confined, before her death, she was seldom heard to murmur, but with composure and cheerfulness bore her afflictions; and when all hopes of recovery were lost, she threw herself entirely upon the mercy of her Creator, trusting in the merits of a crucified Saviour. She not only resigned herself to God, but entreated her weeping relatives to dry their tears and leave her to His disposal: Relying upon His mercy, she nobly died without regret, lamented by those who knew her worth. 18 Feb 1824
