Tuesday, Feb. 11,  1812    Edenton Gazette
   DIED, at Camden, N. C., a short time since, MRS. TAMAR PERKINS, wife of 
CALEB PERKINS, ESQ., and relict of the HON. DEMPSY BURGES, former 
Representative in Congress from this District.
   For patience under a long life of suffering, for meekness and suavity of 
temper, for Christian piety and benevolence, for humility and decency of 
deportment, she may challenge all the tabernacles of the dead, as well as the 
living, for her superiority.
   It is impossible to do justice to her character, for we cannot compare 
others to her with any fairness, as she had more to bear and bore it better 
than ever falls to human lot.
   She was bereft of a fond husband, and of several children in succession, 
until her blood ceased to communicate with other mortals, and for the last ten 
years of her life, she enjoyed not one moment of health, although her 
countenance wore an eternal sunshine of contentment: If any being deserved a 
better state, she, of all others, must be happiest. For a purer soul never 
inhabited an early tenement.
