Excerpt: ... (I) DEATH OF MRS. MARSHALL. From the Pennsylvania Freeman's Journal, September 4, 1782. On Monday, the 26th ultimo, died at Lancaster, in the 61st year of her age, Mrs. Abigail Marshall, the late admirable consort of Christopher Marshall, Esq., and on Wednesday, the 28th, her corpse was interred in the Friends' burying ground, attended by a numerous and respectable concourse of people both from town and country. The character of this truly virtuous woman is beyond all panegyric; to enumerate the various instances of her benevolent and charitable actions would far exceed the bounds usually allotted for this purpose in a newspaper; sufficient be it to say that in her was united the amiable manner, the heart of tenderness and sensibility, and every Christian and social virtue. Her surviving partner has lost in her a most prudent and affectionate wife; the necessitous and the stranger by he rdeath are deprived of a most humane, hospitable and generous benefactress, and her relations and acquaintances of a religious, faithful and steady friend. Onward she moved Co meet her latter end, Angels around befriending virtue's friend; Sunk to the grave with unperceived decay, While resignation gently sloped the way; Saw all her prospects bright'ning to the last And heaven commencing ere the world was put.
