On Tuesday morning the 8th instant, departed this life, MRS. MARY B. DAVES, consort of John P. Daves, Esq. of this town, age 14 years and six months. In noticing this melancholy dispensation of divine Providence, our feelings are afflicted with an uncommon degree of sympathetic woe.
Not roused into grief alone, at the premature termination of her earthly existence, but called to condole with her but a few weeks before her as a young mother struggling against the same visitation of Heaven upon a first born infant, almost strangled in the porch of life.
Rarely does such an instance as the present, present itself to our serious reflection. Her own life not only arrested in the threshold of youth, but that solemn mandate sealed by mourning tears of a bereaved parent.
The mother just passing from the innocence and imbecility of infancy into the cares, perplexities and sorrows of an aged life, while the infant offspring as if opening its eyes upon the gloomy perspective, recoiled from the view & pointed the sorrowing parent to the grave.
MRS. DAVES was amiable in the qualities of the heart, endeared to all her youthful associates by the peculiar suavity & ingeniousness of her manners: excelling in those inestimable domestic qualities, which made her at once the tender companion of a bereaved relict, and the disinterested benefactress of the comfortless visitor.
