The deceased was a native of Mecklenburg County, Va., from which she removed to Granville County in this state in 1792 where she has continued to reside and has been known to a limited circle of friends, relations and religious associates for the last 54 years. She died a precedent of the Baptist profession which she made near 30 years ago. She departed quietly yet triumphantly in the presence of her family and some sympathizing neighbors who had rarely ever witnessed such an exit. This dispensation, scarcely supportable by tenderer branches of her connexion, deprived us of a living example of goodness, christianity and naturnal wealth.
