Does anyone know the lineage for Virginia? She is probably the one who died from consumption in the early posting of her obituary, but it never gave any lineage information. Was her mother perhaps the Polly Shaudoin living with the CHAUDOIN ladies in the 1860 Census? Who is Polly? Would assume she was a CHAUDOIN by marriage. Audrey 1860 U. S.

If the object of life be to prepare for an eternal state of being beyond the grave, and to incite others to that preparation, then may our sister be said fully to have fulfilled her mission--though cut off in the morning of her day. In its first hours she commenced her work. Though of an amiable, natural disposition, feeling the need of an atonement for sin, she applied to a Saviour all sufficient, rejoiced in His forgiving love, and cheerfully performed His service. But soon our Father saw that her work was done, and sent for her to Himself. And gloriously impressive was the scene of her farewell to earth. She fully realized its solemnity; and yet, instead of viewing death as the grim monster, he appeared to her as the kind friend, who had come to carry her home to heaven. In her non language, all was peace. With a mingled earnestness and deliberation, which was sublimely eloquent, she impressed on each member of the family and each attending friend, the claims of religion and its bright reward, while loving messages were sent to each friend who was absent, and the smallest act of kindness was gratefully acknowledged. May each one thus addressed profit by her exhortations--follow her in life as she followed Jesus, triumph with her in death, and at last, reign with her in immortal glory.
