DIED,
In Chatham county, on the 31st ultimo, Miss EMMA JACKSON, daughter of Mr. Samuel Jackson, in the 16th year of her age.
"The wind passeth over it, and it is gone."
Yes, thou art gone, ere grief had power
To blight thy youthful heart and form;
Closed is the fair and tender flower
That never felt a storm.
The sunbeam's smile, the zephyr's breath,
Was all it knew from birth to death.
Fallen in freshness, pure and sweet,
In morning's liquid dew,
Ere rolling suns had gather'd heat
To change its tender hue.
So young, so fair, so innocent;
In life, in death carest;
Thy memory needs no monument,
It lives in every breast.
—Published in The Hillsborough Recorder (Hillsborough, North Carolina), November 11, 1829, p. 3.
NOTE: Place of burial not known; but her family members are in this cemetery.
