"I am sorry to inform you of the death of our dear grandmother.  She diedexactly one month ago today...she gently fell asleep.  The day before shedied she said 'the Savior has been a support to me in many trials, and heis now my staff.  She gave every evidence of being a truly piousChristian, and remained faithful to the end.  God grant that all of usmay live to be as useful and good as she was.  She had a remarkable mindand remained sensible to the last.  We buried her at her old home in theupper end of the county."
