Mrs . Eachus . 1829 . May 2 , at Safron Walden , Essex , in the 47 th year of her age , Mrs . Eachus , youngest daughter of the late Mr . Eedes , of the same town . To all who enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance , she was endeared by the fidelity and affection of her heart , the meekness and
gentleness of her temper , her steadfast zeal for the cause of Divine truth , however unpopular , her earnest wish and constant aim to diffuse happiness through the sphere in which she moved , and the indefatigable practice of personal , domestic , and social virtue . During the whole of her lingering and severe illness , she retained unshaken confidence in

She derived much comfort , under every trial , from the promises of the gospel , and felt , on the bed of death , the efficacy of a well-grounded hope ; looking forward
with joy unspeakable to the happy period when there shall be no more death , neither sorrow , crying , nor any more pain—when the storms of time shall cease , the clouds and darkness which , encompass the throne of Supreme Majesty disperse , the dawn of an eternal day appear , and all creatures and all things be light and life in the Lord .

James Cross , Esq . May 2 , at Exeter , Jambs Cross , Esq ., who through a lengthened life sustained a consistent character for uprightness and integrity of conduct and inflexibility of principle . He was a faithful friend and a liberal benefactor to those institutions which tended to cherish / the growth of civil and religious liberty .
