Died
Near Washington, Texas, on Thursday, 24th March, 1859, at 7 o?clock, A.M. at the age of 34 years, 6 months and 14 days, Mrs. Jane O. Bass, widow of Kilby Bass, formerly of Kenansville, N.C., but for the last 9 years of her life a resident of Washington county, Texas. Thus, while in the early bloom of life, a kind and pious mother, a lovely and affectionate sister, and and obliging friend and neighbor has been removed from our midst, and we earnestly hope carried to that haven of rest where pain and affliction are felt no more; for, having been an exemplary member of the Baptist Church for the last 10 or 12 years of her life, we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we sincerely believe that she was a Christian on earth and now an Angel in Heaven. The deceased was, for the last 3 years of her life, laboring under that fatal disease, consumption, and for the last 6 months of that period continued to her bed; but being a Christian-hearted woman, she bore her sickness with the greatest fortitude and patience ? never uttering a word of complaint. She was conscious that she was dying even to the last moments of her life, when she closed her eyes on earth only to be opened in Heaven.
Mrs. Bass leaves five dear and affectionate children, two kind and loving sisters, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her death. Herald please copy.
