she was early deprived, sprung up, and bore good fruit,  
under the culture of affliction. She was endued by nature  
with quickness and brightness of intellect, as appeared from 
her conversation and epistolary correspondence; and to the  
latest period of her life she retained both the desire and  
the ability of improving her mind. But what was of far more  
consequence to herself, and to all who came within her  
sphere, she was blessed with great benevolence of  
disposition, which prompted her to a continual exercise of  
kindness and charity. Although for several years she had  
been in a great measure deprived of the use of her limbs,  
yet her last illness made it apparent that the principle of  
life was still very strong in her: and although the many and 
sever sufferings which were required to release her spirit  
from its house of clay, were afflicting to her friends; yet  
it is to be hoped that the memory of the patience and  
perfect resignation to the will of her Heavenly Father, with 
which she endured them, will afford them the truest  
conslation. Her husband and children have to deplore the  
loss of a dutiful and affectionate wife and mother, and the  
poor of Workington of a most kind benefactoress.
