The new England education and a Quaker training, teach you here for its constant and thorough inculcation of the principles of perfect truthfulness, on failing integrity and habits of simplicity imputed with the religious teaching like imparted by her Christian mother, developed the character of a rare moral excellence which one the profoundest respect of all who knew her. Faithful, devoted, affectionate, kind, gentle and conscientious in all the relations of her life as a wife, and mother and a neighbor. Perfect peace of mind, tranquil resignation and unfaltering trust in her Redeemer made radiant the close of life not withstanding all the suffering she endured during her last sickness.
