DEPARTED THIS LIFE, at her late resident in Wentworth, Rockingham County, N. C., on Monday night, the 6th of January, 1840, after a most distressing illness of near two years continuance, all of which time she was confined to her room, and mostly to her bed, -- MRS. FRANCES ELLINGTON, in the 64th year of her age. She was, at the time of her death, and had been for several years prior, a worthy member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She was left a widow with several minor children, a number of years previous to her death; and to become acquainted with her children is at once to discover in what an exemplary manner she discharged the double responsibility of father and mother.
