OBITUARY
It becomes our most painful duty to announce the death of Miss MARY ANN HODGE, daughter of Mrs. MARGARET HODGE, of this village,
aged 18.
On Friday evening previous to her exit she was taken ill with a violent cold, attended by a swelling of the lungs and throat,
which increased so rapidly on the following day as to render medical aid entirely useless; and about half past 3 o’clock
on Sunday morning, she expired, surrounded by her relatives and friends.
How mysterious are the works of Providence!-- The golden chain of friendship is again broken; and the loss sustained by those
who have been blessed with her society is irreparable. The name which she bore, for virtue and modest worth, in the whole
circle of her acquaintance, was such as now to render praise entirely superfluous-- She has set an example in society which
the best may “imitate but not exceed.” At an age, perhaps, when her loss may seem to be the most sensibly and
severely felt, she is exempted from enduring the ills of after life in this world of trouble, and called, we trust, to a better.
