ELIZABETH C. LATHAM DUESBY 

ELIZA C. DUESBY 

     Departed this life, the 11th of March, in the 47th year of her age, Mrs. 
Eliza C. Duesby, the daughter of Mrs. Sarah Latham, dec'd, of Norfolk.  In early 
life she was a recipient of saving grave, possessed of a meek and retiring 
spirit, with great buoyancy. Her heart was susceptible of the most sincere 
friendship, and she was strongly endeared to all, by her worthy deportment and 
virtuous example. She sustained a reputation of great usefulness in life; she 
had a strong mind. which was regulated by divine grace, and was enabled justly 
to appreciate the misfortunes of the distressed, and was ever true to the 
unfortunate! During her last protracted and painful illness, she was 
distinguished for patience, resignation and composure; and in the prospect of 
her approaching dissclation for months, she enjoyed the sustaining comforts of 
religion, and this heavenly principle within her breast essentially smoothed her 
passage to the tomb. She has left one sister and three devoted children, two 
daughters and one son, to lament a tender, affectionate mother and a valued 
friend.  C.M. GODFREY.
