DIED–On the 26th inst. after an illness of but four days, of congestion of stomach and lungs, Kiziah, relict of Samuel B. Hudson deceased.
The sudden death of this good woman has cast a gloom over our entire community. Her Christian virtues, her sorrows under the Providence of God, begat for her a sympathetic friendship in every heart. She was a most devoted mother, and lived in and for her children alone, and her last prayer was to be spared, God willing, to live for them longer. They have lost in her the best friend they will ever look upon again this side of the grave.
But a few days ago she was in the bloom of health to all appearance. Now she is dead. What a lesson to the living, to remind them of the uncertainty of Life! Let us all so live, that when our summons comes, we may, like her, be fully prepared to meet it calmly and with perfect trust.
