Democrat and sentinel: (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866: November 05, 1856
On the night of Thursday, October 30, at the residence of Mr. James Myers, in this
Borough, Mrs. Mary Todd, widow of David Todd, Sr., deceased, at the advanced age of
eighty-nine years. Mrs. Todd was a native of the State of New Jersey, and with her
husband, migrated to Cambria County, in the year 1800. She was, therefore, one of
the early settlers, and as such, endured many of the privations incident to pioneer
life. But...to behold what was to her at first a wilderness, blossom as the rose. In
1841, Mrs. Todd was deprived by death of the company of her husband, from which time
she resided with her son, Thomas Todd, Esq., of this Borough, until about five years
ago, when she went to reside with Mr. Myers, whose lady is her grand-daughter. Here,
every act of kindness was shown her, until it pleased Providence to relieve her from
the pains and toils of this troublesome world. Let it be hoped, that she has gone to
join her husband in that happy land " where the wicked cease from troubling and the
weary are at rest." Mrs Todd leaves a number of children and a host of friends and
acquaintances to mourn her loss, whose sorrow may be only alleviated by the
reflection, that "the harvest was ready for the sickle."
