Sunday the 14th Instant, between One and Two o'Clock in the Afternoon, died after a short Illness in the 37th Year of her Age, and on Monday Evening following, was decently enterred in the Family Vault, in Trinity Church-Yard; the Remains of Mrs. Moore, Wife of Lambert Moore, Esq; Comptroller of his Majesty's Customs for this Port, and Daughter of the late worshipful Edward Holland, Esq.
She was a Lady remarkable for many excellent Virtues;an affectionate Wife; a tender Mother; dutiful Daughter; a fond sister; an obliging Mistress; In each of these Characters in particular as well as all of them in general, the evidenced the Goodness, Benevolence of her Heart. The Happiness which during her Life seemed so much in her own Possession, shed its enliving Influence on all around her; cheerful and at Ease with herself, no one in her Presence could be otherwise. She was of a hospitable and tender Disposition. Of these Virtues her Friends and Acquaintance had full Experience.
Ever attentive to the many Calls of her Station, she was always employed in promoting the present, and providing for the future. Happiness of her numerous Family of little Ones; of these 7 are left behind her, the oldest, not 8 Years of Age. To her husband the loss is exceeding great; to her Children it will be almost irretrievable. Sensible of the near Approach of Death, she submitted to the stroke with a Christian Resignation; the Thoughts of leaving so many helpless infants behind her, did, indeed, greatly direct her; but even to this, was she at last, through Grace, reconciled. As she lived much beloved, so she died infinitely regretted, by all who knew her.
The Stage of Life she trod with Ease,
Her setting Sun was bright;
Her Mind compos'd, her Soul at Peace
With God, and Heavn'n in Sight.
