At her late residence in Harris county, on the 19th inst., Mrs. Martha West, consort of Mr. E. H. West, in the nineteenth year of her age. She left three small children, and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but their loss is her eternal gain. She died as she had lived, in the hope of a blessed immortality. She was sensible of her approaching end, and bid all around farewell forever, and died.

"Blessed are the dead who die in the lord."
 

The Central Georgian, Sandersville, Georgia, 6 April 1852, page 3, column 4.
