Native Virginian 21 Feb 1868
Death of Mrs. John Willis. -The sudden death of this estimable lady, on Sunday 
morning last, produced a shock such as has seldom been felt in our town. For 
months past, she had been subject to attacks of a painful and, sometimes, of an 
alarming character, but every one hoped her life would be spared for many years 
to come. Her disease was, we believe, neuralgia of the heart, and the, summons, 
whenever it came, must needs have been sudden. She has been called to her Divine 
Master, not unprepared, and at a time when sorrow born of oppression has left 
little worth living for. The infinite gain is hers; the loss --unspeakably 
sharp-- belongs wholly to those she leaves to follow her in her pure and serene 
pathway. To them, in the name of the whole County, we tender our respectful and 
heartfelt sympathy.
