Died: In this town [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], on the 26th ult., of Consumption, Lucy O. [Cary], eldest daughter of P.C. Cary, Esq., aged 21 years. In the death of this young lady, her relatives and friends have sustained a great loss. She was an affectionate daughter, sister and friend, and lived highly respected and esteemed by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Until a short time before her death, she manifested a strong desire to recover, life had its charms, and afforded many promises to her youthful imagination. But knowing the fatal tendency of her disease, she "set her house in order," and met the Destroyer tranquil, satisfied, resigned and happy. "Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted."

Rev. Dr. Judson: By the Hibernin we received the news that Dr. Judson died on the 5th of April on the French baroque, Arlative, bound to the Isle of Bourdon, and that he was buried at sea. His missionary life comprised thirty-eight years of such devotion as is rarely displayed. He was one of the first party of Missionaries to Burma, his companions being his wife, and Mr. Newell with his gifted and devoted wife Harriet Newell. The history of his sufferings, his persecution by government at Ava and Rangoon, his imprisonment under loads of chains in foul and noisome dungeons, his "march on the bloody track" over miles of burning sand, goaded by whips and galled by fetters, his exposure to pestilence, and his various and complicated trials for a series of years is familiar as household words. It is a story passing the wonder of fiction. But in all this distress, he kept in view the object of his mission, and his life has been one of great industry and usefulness. His translation of the Bible into the Burmese language was itself the work of a lifetime. In June 1816 he was married at Hamilton, Madison Co., N.Y. to Miss Emily Chobbuck the favorite authoress "Fanny Forrester" who relinquished a brilliant prospect at home to share the labors of the missionary abroad. She was his third wife. They sailed on the 11th of July the same year and were engaged after their arrival at Maulmain in the prosecution of their work. Dr. Judson's death was not expected and there is little cause for regret, when such a man has ceased from his labor. Though not very advanced in years, having attained the aged of 62, his life was a complete one--being spent in the faithful discharge of the the severe duties he had undertaken, and it was a kindness that he was taken to his reward.

At the age of 23, he removed to McDonough, Chenango County, where he spent the remaining 54 years and four months of his life, in meeting the toils, trials, privations and afflictions to which those are exposed who move into the wilderness. He was among the first who settled in this county, there being no dwelling within five miles of the place of his residence.
