house closely , that she heard attentively , and has left a good report of acting in all other respects consistently . Her remains were interred near to certain of her relatives in-the cemetery attached to the Unitarian General Baptist Chapel , of which place she wa ^ ,, at the tune of her death , the senior member : when * Mr . Aliibone , at the request of the family , delirered an address on the occasion .
