It is but poor satisfaction to write th eulogy of the dea: yet is the only tribute which death leaves to surviving friends whereby to express their reverence and to gratify their cherished memories.

Consigned by death to shades of night, she died concealed from mortal sight, till Jesus from the lofty skies, shall bid her slumbering dust arise. Why would her mourning friends complain, their loss is her enternal gain; from life's tempestuous scenes at rest, with joys unnumberd she is blessed; we would not murmur but prepare, to meet our God, and meet her there; We may with her through sovereign grace, in Glory see Immanuel's face.

Revelation XIV - 12 Sacred to the memory of Frances A.G. Pugh, wife of Thomas J. Pugh and daughter of William Lee Gray and Mary Turner Gray. She lived greatly beloved and died as much lamented in whose bosom a selfish thought never entered who never balanced between duty and inclination whose whole life emboidied Christianity--for in early life she devoted herself to the love and service of God, her Saviour and by the aid of the Holy Spirit was enabled to pursue a conscientious and consistant course. And from a life rich in good works and good examples and all loveliness of character sustained with Christian fortitude and resignation, she passed happily to her rest leaving us the blessed assurance of her abundant entrance into the joy of her Lord. "Oh she was all that is brightest, best; So pure in heart, so rich in mind' Of every social worth possessed; By every Christian grace refined; Faultless as near as mortal could; She filled her part below and passed where only such may go.

Pugh. Died Thursday, July 26, A.D. 1855, aged 20 years 7 months & 6 days. He was beloved for his generous demeanor and for many qualities of social and intellectual intercourse which endear man to man, and make us mourn when a noble soul departs from among us. Those who knew him best feel that the example and memories he has left behind are an inestimable treasure. "Calm on the bosom of thy God. Sweet Spirit rest thee now".
