Baltimore County Advocate
August 14, 1858

MARKEY, SIMEON     On Tuesday, the 10th inst., at Shrewsbury, York Co., Pa., Simeon 
Markey, formerly of this county, aged about 70 years.

STEVENSON, AIREY ANN     Near Thornton Mills, August 2d, in the hope of a blissful 
immortality beyond the grave, Miss Airey Ann Stevenson, aged 20 years and 23 days.  
To know her was but to love her.
   Hear what the voice from Heaven declares:
     To those in Christ who die – 
   Released from all their earthly cares,
     They’ll reign with Him on high.

   Then why for departed friends lament,
     Or shake at death’s alarms;
   Death is but the servant Jesus sent
     To call her to His arms.

LOVEGROVE, JAMES     In Baltimore, on Monday the 9th inst., James Lovegrove, in the 
76th year in his age.

RUTLEDGE, JACOB   Obituary    We regret to announce the death of our worthy friend, 
Jacob Rutledge, who departed this life after a brief illness, at his Father’s residence, 
Garden Spot, Harford county, on the 10th of July.  The loss of the above named gentleman 
will be deeply felt by all who knew him.  He was a devoted son, affectionate brother, 
and sincere friend; strictly honorable in all his dealing with his fellow men; and 
industrious to a fault; possessed of a kind and feeling heart, he was always ready to 
sympathize with, and relieve the sufferings of his fellow creatures.  In fact, he was 
one of nature’s noblemen.  Though making no profession of Religion, whilst in health, 
he met death with perfect calmness and resignation to the will of God; thereby leaving 
the comforting hope to his bereaved family that he is now at rest.  This esteemed 
gentleman was one of the worthiest members of the Masonic  Lodge.  The Lodge to which 
he belonged attended his funeral in a large body, giving evidence of their attachment 
to him.  The writer of this Obituary knew him well, and deeply sympathizes with his 
bereaved family in their affliction.  But they do not mourn as those without hope, 
remembering those words of Scripture, “Blessed are the death which die in the Lord, 
hence forth; Yea, sayeth the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their 
works do follow them.”
Beltsville, Balt. Co.
