Unambitious of the gaieties of the world , she sought her pleasures in multiplying the endearments and discharging the duties of the family circle . Never was she more fruly happy than when she could extend the comforts or promote the virtues of those with whom she was
connected . Her maternal tenderness was prompt to devise , and assiduous to fulfil , every office by which she could promote the welfare of her children . She deemed no exertions too laborious , no sacrifices too painful , where this object could be subserved . Yet her attachment was not a principle of blind and foolish partiality . It was a judicious , well-regulated affection , and lecj her to the proper cultivation of their mental habits and moral

She was perfectly resigned to the will of her heavenly Father ; she confided in his goodness and niercy ; she derived consolation from the hopes and promises of the gospel ; and , at last , without a struggle or a groan , sunk into the peaceful slumber of death .
Her gentle character , her meek $ iid placid virtues , are engraven deeply on the hearts of her bereaved husband and children . Yet , while they deplore the great loss which they have sustained , they are consoled with the reflection that the memory of the " just is blessed . "
