At Milk River, on the 24th July, Mrs. Mary Temperance Ludford, aged 56 years; whose beauty, good conduct, and accomplishment, distinguished her in the early part of life; and soon as she became a wife and parent, her attention and affection to both ever marked her worthy character. Soon she became much afflicted by various complaints; but all the distresses that could afflict human nature, could not avert the smallest of her care and attention to her family affairs; and ever studious and cautious to procure for her offspring, she laid by, from her own savings and industry, a pleasant assistance to her family. Thus she died, and lies much lamented by her affectionate husband and children. – J. Ludford.
