____________________________________________________________________________ Died. In Clark county, of bilious fever, attended by paralysis, after an illness of three weeks, in the 39th year of her age, Mrs. Mary Ward, consort of Isaac Ward, Esq., Clerk of the Circuit Court of that county. Mrs. Ward was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a truly Christian matron, she discharged the duties of wife, mother, friend, and all the social offices of life, in a really affectionate, and highly exemplary manner. By her death society has sustained no ordinary loss, her husband and children one which is indeed irreparable. But her friends may console themselves with the affliction, that their infinite loss is her abundant gain. She has cast off the burden of life; she has taken her departure from a world of cares, and has entered into a more glorious state of existence to enjoy the reward of a life well spent. ____________________________________________________________________________ Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, Arkansas, July 15, 1834. ____________________________________________________________________________ HTML file and design by David Kelley, 1997.
