Died: In Ellicottville [Cattaraugus Co NY], on Saturday night, the 19th inst., just as the Sabbath morn was about to dawn, Elizabeth Reed [Jerome], wife of Rev. Charles Jerome, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and formerly Pastor of Presbyterian Church of Oxford, aged 33 years. The deceased leaves five little children (the youngest an infant only ten days) to lament the loss of an exceedingly kind and Christian mother; and while the circumstances attending her death are peculiarly afflictive to those who the most deeply mourn over it, the Church of which she was an active and useful member, and the society which has been adorned by her social and domestic excellencies, will sadly miss the worthy examples and benevolent influences which distinguished her career as a Christian, and the genial temper and shining virtues which endeared her to all who knew her. It is consoling to believe that she closed her eyes amid the night and darkness of a sinful world, to open them upon the light and glory of Heaven.
"Green be the turf above thee, / Friend of my youthful days; / None knew thee, but to love thee, / None named thee, but to praise." Cattaraugus Freeman
