The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 38, No 44, p 8, Nov. 2, 1882.
At Ashaway, R. I., Oct. 19, 1882, of peritonitis, Florence, daughter of Wm. Penn and Sarah M. Browning, aged 11 years and 29 days. She had been failing for some time, but was sick only a few hours. She was always a good school girl, well beloved by all who knew her, and will be greatly missed, especially by her young associates. She was a model of courage, patience, amicability, and obedience. Her influence in the family and among her young friends was great for good. She was remarkable for her gentle reproofs when she heard the character of any person assailed. She was held in such high esteem by her teacher and fellow pupils that they came en masse to her home before her remains were removed, to present some beautiful tokens of their love and esteem, among which was a lovely pillow of natural flowers with her name carefully and tastefully wrought therein, and sang, "We shall sleep but not forever." Her body was interred by the side of that of her mother, in the Rockville cemetery. A sermon for the occasion was delivered on the brevity of life, by the writer, from Psa. 39: 4, 5.
