                        Death Loves a Shining Mark

The sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. Eliza A., wife of our well known and 
esteemed young townsman, George B. Gregory, Esq., was received yesterday. It 
occurred at 3:45 p.m. at the residence of her husband, No. 36 Reservoir Avenue, 
Brambleton Ward, after a painful and protracted illness. For weeks past the 
loving friends who hourly watched beside her sick couch have realized that the 
worst was at hand. All the efforts of the best medical skill to restore her to 
health were fruitless and at the hour mentioned above she calmly and peacefully 
passed away. The deceased was a most estimable woman, of warm and sympathetic 
nature and generous to a fault, and her untimely death has created a void 
amongst a large circle of friends and acquaintances which will be most difficult 
to fill. But her loss will be more deeply felt by her bereaved husband, to whom 
she was ever the highest source of comfort and joy. It will be a consolation to 
him to know in his deep sorrow and bereavement that she gave evidence of her 
perfect readiness to exchange her sufferings here for the joys and triumphs of 
Heaven.
The funeral will take place from the Cumberland Street M.E. Church, of which in 
life she was a consistent member, at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
