"Died, of pulmonary consumption, on the 29th of first month, at the residence of her son, Bethia Ladd, wife of Dudley Ladd, a much esteemed member and elder of Weare, (N. Hampshire,) monthly meeting, and Concord particular meeting, aged about 71 years. This, our beloved sister, was one amongst a very few that remained firmly attached to early Friends' principles, in her own particular meeting, amid the rendings of that spirit, that "divides in Jacob, and separates in Israel," - and to her latest breath, her Redeemer and Saviour was her evening praise as he had been her morning song. She died in great peace."
