"The memory of the just is blessed." And truly, in her case, Nature and Grace combined in the harmonious productions of a personage the most lovely and of a character the most amiable, sweetly yielding to the force of truth and the influences of the Holy Ghost. At eleven years of age, she embraced the Savior and his sacred religion publicly professed. Her pathway was that of the shining light and as every Christian grace became more matured and more developed to all with whom related and associated, she became but the more lovely, interesting and endeared. Thus, she reached the prime of youthful womanhood, the endeared and beloved of all - yes, and as of the community, so of that church and of that choir, wherewith she stood connected. She appeared preeminently the flower of the flock. Her maiden love was yielded and her faith plighted to one not altogether unworthy of her most sincere affection, and the time hastened on apace when in closest dearest and most permanent bonds their hearts and hands and destinies congenial were to be united. But ah, there came a blight, a deadly blight, over all their prospects and delightful imaginings - yes, midsummer's heat sent throughout her system a chill, that proved the chill of death, and as fades the beauteous snow flaks neath an vernal sun, so from day to day did Henrietta Maria fade away. Thus, for ten long months upon a dying couch, all that was mortal wasted. But tho' life was dear and nature strong, yet all was humble, holy, happy, resignation to Heaven's will supreme. The 24th of January 1849, witnessed those nuptials consummated, which to the dying, the living united, and who can conceive, much less express the sighs, the tears, the sympathies, which since have been so freely interchanged between the parties, still death slept in and closed the mournful scene, nor need we say, what an affectionate daughter and lovely sister and loving and beloved wife, &c, she would have been! Nay, while her memorial is on earth, her record is in Heaven. On the 11th inst. her remains were deposited in the silent tomb, while from the bleeding hearts and tearful eyes, and mournful lips of that large funeral assemblage, but one responsive wail arose on high - Thy will, O Lord, be done.
