23 year old wife of Samuel Hull and daughter of Henry Deming of Wethersfield, CT.
OBITUARY.
DIED, at Derby, on the 4th instant, Mrs. Lavinia Hull, the amiable consort of Mr. Samuel Hull, jun. merchant, and daughter of Mr. Henry Deming, of Wethersheld, deceased. Her funeral was attended the next day by a numerous concourse of people, deeply affected by the irreparable loss. A well adapted and affecting sermon was delivered by the Rev. Ambrose Todd, from Philippians i. 23: "For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ; which, is far better".
A procession of about seventy young Ladies was formed at the house of the deceased, and followed her to the place of interment, to pay their last tribute of respect to their beloved companion; to whose natural accomplishments and agreeableness of disposition, were added the superior graces, piety and Christian morality. Numerous surrounding pleasing prospects of worldly happiness did not limit or satisfy her desires; but she wisely judged it of primary importance to secure the favour and friendship of God her Saviour; and, though cut off in the morning of life, hath left this consoling reflection, that dying exchanged earth for heaven.
Learn hence, ye lively and engaging fair,
To make your minds your chief and greatest care;
For death e're long will close the brightest eye,
But heaven-born virtue never, never dies.
~The Churchman's Monthly Magazine, Volume 1; 1804; pg. 112.
