Obituary
Departed this life on 9th of April, 1854, Mrs. Damares Farnsworth, in the 82nd year of her
age. The deceased was born in Bedford county, Virginia, near Lynchburg; she was born of
respectable parents, and was of a retiring and amiable disposition, beloved by her Family
and respected by her friends; but alas! the fell destroyer came, and in a moment, hurried
her well prepared and happy spirit to a clime where the wicked cease from troubling; and
the weary are forever at rest - So lies the righteous. O! may our last hours be like
hers.
The morning of life is gone
The evening shades appear,
O may we remeber well,
The hour of death is near.
[Union co., Indiana; 4/9/1854 F-8 Obit Book 2]
