      Obituary.

      OBITUARY .

      Untitled Article

      June 19 , in the 43 rd year of her age , sincerely lamented by a numerous circle of relatives and friends , to whom she was deservedly dear , Mary , the wife of

      Mr . R . Rees , of Cilgell , in the parish of Pencarreg , Carmarthenshire . This amiable and much regretted woman exhibited in her character an assemblage of excellencies , which could not fail to procure for her the esteem of all who knew

      her . In every relation of social life , her conduct was truly exemplary ; and she will be long remembered with affectionate regard . Her mind , naturally cheerful , was improved by rational views of the Divine government , and an extensive acquaintance with the truths of the gospel . Few hearts could be found more

      susceptible of the kind emotions of benevolence , which appeared , not only in her conduct towards her friends , but in acts of kindness to all whom she considered worthy objects of charity . By her active and judicious labours to advance the moral improvement of her children , she shewed alike the goodness of her heart , and her deep sense of the importance of early

      impressions . To her friends , her husband , and an interesting family of eight children , her loss is irreparable . A few weeks previous to her death , she was delivered of a female child , which survives her ; and while all her friends believed she was recovering , she expired suddenly without a sigh or a groan .

      Mrs . Rees was interred in the Meetinghouse of Capel-y-Groes , Cardiganshire , and was the first buried there , on the 22 d of June ; when a large concourse of people was assembled , who seemed deeply to sympathize in the afflicting event that had brought them together . Kellan , Cardiganshire , July 12 , 182 1 .
