 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.): May 11, 1864
Died March 21st, at the residence of her son, Wm. B: Herriott, Esq., in the city of
Pittsburgh, Mrs. Rebecca Herriott, of Bridgeville, Upper St. Clair Twp., in the 63d
year of her age. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. William Brice, who was among
the early settlers in Western Pennsylvania, and the widow of the late John Herriott,
who was for twelve years before his decease a highly esteemed and efficient Ruling
Elder of the Presbyterian church of Bethany, of which Mrs. H. was for the last
forty-two years a consistent and worthy member. The last nine weeks of her life she
was with her son and daughter-in-law, in the city of Pittsburgh, where she was
faithfully and tenderly nursed. She bore her last illness with great patience and
resignation. The consolations of religion, and the sustaining grace of God, were in
a comfortable degree granted her. She was cheered and supported as she went down
into the dark valley, by the hope of a better resurrection, having a desire to
"depart and be with Christ, which is far better." She was kind and affectionate in
the various relations of daughter, wife, sister, mother, and friend. In the full
possession and clear exercise of her mental powers, she calmly, and without a
struggle, closed her eyes in death. Her corpse was brought to her house, in
Bridgeville, where the funeral service was performed, and then conveyed to Bethany
church, where sleeps the dust of her father, mother, husband, and other relatives...
