While an Infant she was baptized in the Episcopal Church; And at the age of Fourteen received the Holy Communion. Her only hope, for Salvation, was in the blood of atonement. In the last scenes of her life, She afforded an example to the young and to the Aged. When she expired, it was in the attitude of Prayer, And without a struggle or a groan. As Angels exulting wafted her soul to Heaven So her Friends cheerfully consigned her body to the Tomb;
Confident that thus sown in weakness and corruption Would be raised at the last day, in incurruption, and Glory; Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. GLORIA DEO. [B, 2.]
