William Gibson

son of Doctor T. H. Gibson, aged 10 months.

Margaret Burton
On the 1st instant, of Consumption, Mrs.
Margaret
Burton, wife of the Rev. William Burton, aged, 32 years.
The deceased bore her protracted illness of ten months, with the
firmness, patience and resignation which characterizes the
Christian. Her anticipations of future felicity, towards the
close of her life, were extremely, vivid, and in conversation
with a friend, on the joys of Heaven she repeated with great
animation,
"There sits my Saviour cloth'd with love,
And there my smiling God"
A few hours before her departure, some of the ladies who were in
attendance, observed, as the clock struck 12, that it was a
new year!—She responded "and a glorious new year for me."—Her
husband inquired of her if she meant Upon Earth. "Oh no,"
said she "you know what I mean!" Intimating that it was
the commencement of those years of joy unspeakable and full
of glory, which are reserved for all those that love the
Lord Jesus Christ. She has left a husband, two interesting
children, and a numerous train of relations and friends to mourn
her untimely exit.
