Died
We are extremely concerned to have the painful duty to perform of announcing the demise of Mary, wife of Peter Stubs, Esquire, Junior, which took place at St. Stephens, yesterday morning. This highly respectable and accomplished lady was not more beloved for her amiable, disposition, than for her unassuming but determined piety. In the bloom of life, having only completed her twenty-sixth year, she was suddenly struck by paralysis, and after a few days suffering, she testified in her last moments, the powerful consolations to be derived from a virtuous life.

[The Editor gets a few things wrong here - the deceased was Margaret, not Mary, and by the dates on her stone she was 52, not 27, at the time of her death.]
