Aged 49 years.
Alexandria Gazette (Alexandria, Va.), Wednesday, January 31, 1855: "Departed this life, on the morning of the 23d of January, at Longwood, her residence in Clarke County, Mrs. MARY C. PAGE, daughter of Captain Archy C. Randolph, in the 50th year of her age. In the large circle of friends among whom she moved, none was ever more truly beloved, more universally admired, or will be more deeply lamented. The strength and firmness of her character, and her unmurmuring submission to the severe and oft repeated chastenings of her Heavenly Father, were most remarkable. As a friend who ever called upon her in vain? Wherever sympathy, charity, or grief solicited an attendant, she was always ready to do all in her power. As a mother--no children were ever more blessed by God than hers, and we trust her example will be a guide to them in their journey through this life. After a short sickness which was combatted by all in medical power, she took her leave of this sorrowing world, and we humbly trust was borne in the arms of Jesus to her eternal home, where no trouble intrudes. She leaves to weep for their loss, those who will ever hold her freshly in memory while life, and being last.
'If I had thought, thou couldst have died,
I might not weep for thee;
But I forgot when by thy side,
That thou couldst mortal be.
It never through my mind had pass'd,
The time would e're be o'er,
And I on thee should look my last,
And thou shouldst smile no more.'
W.M.P."
