DIED – In Warren county, on Friday the 26th ult., in the prime of life, Mrs. TURNER, the amiable wife of Captain James TURNER, Senator of the Legislature of this State from that county.
This truly respectable woman, has left a disconsolate husband, and “a smiling face of pra<…>” to mourn her death <…> loss, a loss of the sense of which time may alleviate, but cannot repair. Her friends will long lament the deprivation of those virtuous qualifcations which endeared her to them, and the society she so eminently adorned will experience a void, which will not easily be filled.

The United Brethern have lost in him an indefatigable, “faithful, and very much regretted Director of their general concerns’ and the State a much esteemed citizen. – We add, that his urbanity of manners greatly contributed to the civilization of the first settlers of that part of the country in which he died. His integrity and benevolence were truly exemplary. As a neighbour and a friend, his services were not less useful than patriotic. In him were combined completely, the Christian, the Gentleman and the Scholar.
