Deaths

In Brockport, Monroe County, N.Y on the 27th alt. Mrs. Caroline R. [Brewster] wife of Mr. F.W. Brewster, aged 32 years.  For months past, she had been in declining health, which led her friends to fear that at no very distant day they should be deprived of her very interesting society, and her husband and two interesting daughters, of an excellent wife and mother.  but a hemorrhage of the lungs, that commenced seven days before her death, hastened on the parting hour.  She was of that class of wives and mothers whose price is above rubies.  She was an exemplary Christian and those who surrounded her dying couch witnessed the covenant faithfulness of an unchanging God who has promised never to forsake those who put their trust in Him.  And from her calm and affectionate exhortation to her husband and friends to take Jesus Christ for their portion and the confidence with which she committed her little daughters to her dear Savior jut as she was departing to her eternal rest, led them to believe of a truth "that blessed are the dead who died in the Lord."  La Roy Gazette Mrs. Brewster was a sister of Mrs. T. Milner, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY] and spent the year 1830 in this place.  She was much endeared to that part of community with whom she was acquainted.
