Margaret Ann Van Dusen
Obituary
Died. In this village on Sunday evening, the 21st inst. Mrs. Margaret Ann, wife of Dr. H. Van Dusen, aged 40 years 11 months and 4 days, Funeral at the Presbyterian Church, this day (Wednesday) at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Van Dusen had been suffering with severe indisposition for some time, which she bore with christian fortitude and submissive resignation. in her death, a husband has been bereft of an affectionate and amiable companion, her family of a kind and tender mother, and society of a bright ornament and worthy example. In sickness and affliction she was ever ready to administer relief and consolation. By her kind and affable disposition, as well as her attention upon those in distress, she had won the esteem of all who knew her, and many is the heart, which feels a void at her departure, not soon to be filled by the affections of one so amiable. In view of this bereavement, cut down as she has been, in the bloom of a life of usefulness, we may well exclaim, "truly the ways of Providence are past finding out."
