Died
In this village, on the 15th inst. at the residence of her son daniel, Mrs. Elizabeth Judson, the the 87th year of her age, relict of the late Gen. David Judson, formerly of Washington, Conn.
Her remains were deposited in the family burying ground at the Black Lake, on the margin of where forty-five years since, while yet the region was in a wilderness state, the family located their habitation. Eight of her fourteen children still survive her, seven of whom together with grand and great-grand children, were among the concourse that followed her vouerated(?) remains to the house appointed for all living, on sabbath morning last. May they cherish and perpetuate her memory by the transmission of her virtues and excellencies to the generations that come after them. For the last twenty years she was an invalid, during which time under all the providential ---ions of her lot, her christian graces of meekness and submission were elicited, and her hope and trust in the God of her salvation were frequently expressed to her Christian friends around her, seeming to say, "All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change come."
We deem it relevant to say that Mrs. Jusdon's earlier years were spent amid the exciting and stirring events of the Revolutionary war, in which her husband was an "actor", which served to give her a decision of character and strength of resolution, which is subsequent years were called into exercise in the circumstances and events of her domestic life, as all who are familiar with her History will appreciate. We regard her departure as another of those bereavements which the whole community mourn in common with sticken relatives. The sires and matrons, whose recollections reach back to the stormy scenes in the midst of which our nation was born, are fast disappearing from among us; those that have been lingering with us are justly cherished as identified with our earlier history and belonging rather to their country than their kindred, and as one after another of these venerated relicts of a never-to-be-forgotten generation is announced as being no more, whose bosom does not feel the pang of bereavement? The last of these sires and matrons will ere long, have passed away. Let us who survive them honor their memory by emulating their virtuous example, and disciplining ourselves in those ennobling qualities, moral and physical, which so conspicuously distinguish the generation to which they belonged - "The memory of the just is blessed."
Mrs. Jusdon's latter end was peaceful - the 'latter years of her prolonged life' was spent in the bosom of her family, at the residence of Mr Hurlbut, her son-in-law, in Morristown, where all that filial affection could bless her with, she enjoyed under the affectionate and tender supervision of her daughter, Mrs Hurlbut, and the frequent visitation of the rest of her children. The Wednesday before she died, she expressed a desire to visit hersons in Ogdensburgh before she should depart this life - being more than usually smart, her wish was gratified, accopanied by Mr. Hurlbut and her daughters Mrs. Hurlbut and Mrs. Marshall. She reached her son Daniel's in quite good spirits, and but little fatigued by the ride, and in the afternoon and evening received the greetings of her children and friends. During the night she was seized with paralysis from which she did not recover. Had it been at her option, the probability is the circumstances of her dissolution alloted her would have been those of her own choice. "And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying unto me" write blessed "are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth' hea with the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow thenm."
