Death
Died at Nelson [Madison Co. NY] December 18, Eunice Whipple wife of Jeremiah Whipple, Esquire, aged 55.
In the death of this lady, her husband is deprived of an affectionate and truly valuable companion - her children of a tender and singularly faithful mother - and the world of a person of prayer and exemplary piety.
During the most part of her life, Mrs. Whipple was a professed disciple of Christ. For a considerable time, while this country was only beginning to be settled, she stood in the village of Cazenovia [Madison Co. NY] where she then resided, almost alone in her masters' vineyard. Yet solitary as was her condition, and small and feeble as was the number in the vicinity to encourage and to walk with her in the ways of the Lord, she was enabled to witness a good profession and to give convincing evidence to those around her, that she possessed a spirit not natural to this fallen world, even a spirit of meekness, gentleness, forgiveness, patience, long suffering and charity. She was enabled to keep her heart with such singular diligence, that impropriety in feeling, in word and action was seldom if ever exhibited. Hers was a mild atmosphere which the tempests of the passion and the thunders of the tongue did not annoy. If reviled, revile again - if she suffered, she threatened not, but committed herself to him that judgest right - in general to be steadfast, altho' at times she expressed to her confidential friends, doubts respecting the reality of her religion.
In the month of August last, Mrs. Whipple was seized with a disease of the lungs, the paroxisms of which were exceedingly severe. In several instances she viewed death as indeed at the door and counselled the members of her family accordingly. Her language to the family in view of the trying hour which was to separate them invariably was "weep not for me" - 'be resigned to the will of God when I shall be taken away." As the hour of her departure approached, she seemed to ripen fast for heavenly blessedness and glory. Her attachment to the friends of Christ - to the duty of prayer and to the institutions of religion - though previously ardent, now appeared to be much increased. The most lively gratitude she expressed to a few Christian friends who held, at her request, a meeting for prayer and religious conference at her house a few weeks before her death. She expressed at the time a deep and lively sense of the greatness of the privilege which all the followers of Christ may enjoy, of meeting together for prayer and praise, and for speaking to each other of the glorious honor of his majesty and of his wonderful works to the children of men. Blessed daughter of Zion! thine ascended spirit now enjoyeth in perfection, that communion with Christ, and fellowship with his redeemer, which thou didst so long and so highly esteem on earth!!
The manner of Mrs. Whipple's death was such as might be expected from her preceding life. Though prevented, by the nature and degree of her sufferings, from saying much, she expressed unreserved resignation to the will of her heavenly Father, and that she had a sense, which for her was unusual of the glory that was to follow
The funeral was attended by a large concourse of people on the Wednesday after her death, at the Presbyterian church in Cazenovia, where a discourse was delivered on the petition in the prayer of our Saviour, John xvii, 24 - Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory.

"A beauteous youth is snatched away / By death's resistless power / Our hearts the mournful tribute pay / In this afflictive hour.
While pity prompts the rising sigh / O many this truth imprest / With awful power - "I too must die." / Sink deep in every breast.
The voice of this alarming scene / May every heart obey: / Nor be the heavenly warning vain, / Which calls to watch and pray."
