DIED,

  On Sunday morning last, Elizabeth A., consort of John Henderson, M.D, 
of Huntingdon, aged 57 years. The deceased was a daughter of Col. 
Allison of Franklin county, and sister of the late Hon. Robert Allison 
of Huntingdon.
  Long impressed with a proper sense of the Christian Religion and it 
appropriate duties, she manifested her attachment to the cause of her 
Saviour by uniting with the Presbyterian Church, of which she was an 
exemplary member for many years. Unostentatious and retired in her 
manners, her virtues were rather of the domestic kind, and best known 
and appreciated in the family circle. She was a remarkably kind and 
affectionate wife and mother. The only consolation that can be offered 
to her afflicted, surviving husband, children and relations, is the 
well grounded, cherished hope, that what is their temporal loss is her 
eternal gain. 
O.
