. Obituary:
Died at Sharon, East Gwilimbury, on Wednesday, June 3, 1857, Mary, relic to the late Mr. Hugh Willson, aged 89 years, less 2 days.
The subject of this Obituary was born in duchess County, NY & immigrated to this country soon after the American Revolution. Her early education & ideas of mind was received amongst the religious under Friends, to which communion her parents belonged & many branches of her Fathers’s family have been & are conspicuous members. She maintained through all the vicissitudes of her long life, an unblemished reputation - remarkable for love, of quietude & the society of the good. Towards the close her mind seems to revisit the scenes of the childhood & youth & to mingle with the society of her Father’s house, where a recollection f early antidotes & familiar of early principles seemed to comfort her; & is several that from this stand point she took her view of her Heavenly home. The Lord granted me the privilege to visiting her several times previous to her death - to speak of Jesus - to read to her the previous promises & to pray of her. With others we stood at her bedside & with hearts lifted to the Father, of spirits, in humbleness begged that he would receive the dear depart soul, which seemed while stretching its opinion of light for its wondrous flight, to have left on the fair features an indication of salvation by shedding over them a smile of indescribable sweetness.
She lived to see the 4th generation of her offspring & has left behind her now living nearly all in this section of county, 16 children, including sons-in-law & daughters-in-law; 92 grandchildren, 90 great grandchildren & one great-great grand child. Her children & grandchildren are included the usual & respectable class of community. HHW.
