About the twentieth of July last she was seized with the Acute Rheumatism with Which She suffered all the distress and pane that Human Nature could endure for Several weeks when She recovered from this disseaze So far as to be able to doe some light work until four weeks Since When She took a cold and fell into a state of relaps which defied all the power of meiein and baffled all the Skill of her of her physicians. She sffered great distress through her whole illness yet She bore it with great patience and resignation, until Thursday Evening last at about nine oclock Her Struggles became to hard for for human Nature to bare and the Bandace of Mortality Ware Berst asunder and then Immortal Spirit, took its flight to the arms of that Jesus In whom She trusted a few moments before She exspired She paired her hands and exclaimed I am almost there yes said she there is Glory In Heaven I can see it I shall soon be there Yesterday at one oclock I followed Her Remains to the grave
