Tor, consort of Col. James B Curelon of
tbis District,
It is with melancholy feelings that we
record the death of this amiable lady. Sh?
had been married but little more than n
year. In the large futn'ly cirelc of which
she was a member, her sad (ate is of course
utbut poignantly felt; but society too, in
her death, is likeMiae culled upon to tnourti .
the loss of one of its brightest ornaments.
'plough n comparative stranger in l.ancustor,
yet Wy her high intelligence, her superior
accomplishments, i.nd her atf.ihle and
cor.rteoue demeanor, she had won the admiration
and esteem of numerous friends.
These enter deeply into ^he feelings of her
reUuvea in their sad bereavement ; and
while they bow aubmi<aivt]y to the will of
Kim. whose decrees nrc always just, they
cannot but deplore the untimely fate ot
one so young and full of bloomlhg prospect, M
and whose virtuous example and winning
influence they would have been pleased to
retain. Ilrief as was her sojourn among us,
t^e memory ol her virtues will live in the ^
hearts of the many M ho abared her ac- ""
