[July 1, 1835]
In Cincinnatus, Cortland Co. [NY], July 2, Mrs. Elizabeth C. [Boyd] wife of John W. Boyd, aged 23 years. Mrs. Boyd was amiable, kind, affectionate, and beloved by a large circle of friends. She has left an aged and widowed mother, who leaned upon her to rock the cradle of declining years, and a youthful companion, with other friends. Yet they do not mourn as those who have no hope. She has left a sweet evidence behind that their loss is her gain. She died in the triumphs of faith. In early youth she had given her heart to God and enlisted under his banner. Ten months before her death, she was united in the bands of matrimony and looked forward to a life of usefulness. But alas! How deceitful are the hopes of earthly happiness! Soon after her marriage, death visited the happy family and summoned two of her friends, and last he fixed his cruel grasp on her. But she met him with a smile. The morning before her death she wished her friends, if they thought her going soon, to let her know it. In the afternoon they told her she must soon be in eternity. She replied, "Well, God will be just. I am reconciled to his will. My confidence is strong in Christ." She then conversed freely with her friends, exhorting them to be faithful in the cause of Christ, and they should soon meet in a better world. She then closed her eyes, and in a few hours her spirit took its flight, we trust to the mansions of peace. [July 22, 1835]
In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] on Monday morning, Mrs. Lorinda [Berry], wife of Ansel Berry, aged 33 years. Mrs. B. was an amiable woman, and highly respected by all who knew her. [July 29, 1835]
Of billious Fever, at Selma, Alabama, on the 3d of August, after an illness of three weeks, Mr. Daniel W. Garret, in the 25th year of his age, son of Daniel Garret, of Bainbridge, in this co. [Chenango Co., NY]. Mr. G. left this county about a year ago for the south, for the purpose of embarking in business, with the enterprise of youth. It needs no record of his virtues upon paper to retain them in the remembrance of all who ever had the pleasure of his acquaintance. Having been reared among us, he had endeared himself to all. To amiability of deportment and a gentlemanly and retiring disposition, were added the qualities of the Christian. To his bereaved parents his loss is irreparable, having been the strong hope of their declining years. They, however, have the consolation of knowing that he died calm and resigned, tho' far from his native hills. He was by "Strangers honored and by strangers mourned." [Sept. 2, 1835]
In Preston [Chenango Co., NY] on the 19th inst. after an illness of a few hours, Miss Lucretia Packer, youngest daughter of William Packer, esq., aged 26 years. In the death of this young woman we have a striking instance of the uncertainty of human life. Yesterday we saw her enjoying and enlivening the social circle of friends, in all the bloom and beauty of health. Today, alas! we consign her mortal remains to the cold and silent grave! Could youth, beauty, or intelligence, have averted the shafts of the Dread Destroyer, we should now be spared the melancholy reflection that Lucretia is no more. But it is the fulfilment of destiny from which there is no exemption. "Tis the way of all the world." "Here would I dwell and heave the sigh, / Nor, haste to wipe the weeping eye / Tis Pity's tear, O, let it flow, / It sooths my heart, relieves my woe" {Sept. 23, 1835]
