	Gentleman's Magazine 1850 part 1 p.672 Mr. Wordsworth was very well and vigorous for his age during the last autumn, and was, in some degree, recovering his spirits, which had suffered a severe shock in the death of his only daughter, some time ago. About a month before his death he was attacked with serious illness, from which he never more than partially rallied. His remains were consigned to the earth at the little church of Grasmere. The funeral was intended to be as private as possible, but many persons assembled to pay honour to the remains of the illustrious dead. There was a long procession of carriages and horsemen, and the church was filled with ladies and gentlemen of the neighbourhood, attired in deep mourning. A meeting of persons desirous to do honour to his memory was held on Monday, the 13th of May, at the house of Mr. Justice Coleridge. It was attended by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of St. David's, the Dean of St. Paul's, Archdeacon Hare, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Cavendish, and several other gentlemen.
