All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/pa/blair/ _________________________________________ Deaths. At Hollidaysburg, Pa., on the 19th ult., Mrs. Joanna, wife of Merrick Sawyer, esq., & daughter of Asa Boyden, esq., of Dummerston, aged 22 years. As a companion she was amiable and interesting; as a friend, sincere and constant, and as a wife and daughter, faithful and affectionate. She possessed those qualities which render the lovely female endearing to her friends and useful to society. In her early death her friends have sustained an irreparable loss, but we mourn not as those who are without hope. Our religion mitigates our sorrows, and points to brighter worlds. - Com. Brattleboro Messenger, Brattleboro, Vermont, May 12, 1832
