The deceased was a young lady of amiable disposition and engaging manners, and being a fond and affectionate daughter her loss will be heavily sustained by her tender parents in their decline. Although bred in a section where a thorough female education was not attainable, she by her own exertions, had so improved her manners, and stored her mind with useful information as to be justly entitled to the admiration and respect of all who knew her. She leaves a father, mother and three brothers, besides a large number of sorrowing friends to mourn over her tomb.
