Death of Mrs. Jennie Royer Fay.

  We are indebted to our Williamsburg correspondent for the facts which 
follow:
  Yesterday at 11 o'clock a.m., Mrs. Henrietta Jennie Royer Fay, wife 
of William Fay, died at her residence in Williamsburg, after an illness 
extending over a period of about four years.  She was able to move 
about the house, however, until a few weeks before her death.  She was 
born in Martinsburg in 1868, and was in her 28th year at the time of 
her death.  Although her prolonged illness had in some measure prepared 
her friends for the inevitable result, yet her death was a severe blow 
to the mother, husband and brother, who survive her.  They have the 
consolation of knowing that she was prepared, having given her heart to 
God and her name to the Presbyterian church when a child.  So long as 
her health permitted she was zealous in the discharge of all her 
duties, both in the church and the Sunday school.  In the latter she 
was organist for a number of years, as well as an acceptable teacher.  
She had a large circle of friends who will sincerely mourn her early 
departure, although their grief will be diminished by the knowledge 
that she has gone to a land where sickness and pains are unknown and 
all the inhabitants enjoy perennial health.  The funeral will take 
place on Monday next, at which hour our correspondent fails to notice.  
Interment in the Presbyterian cemetery.
