DIED
On the 17th inst., at "Woodley," the seat of her husband, in the parish of Pointe Coupee, La. Mrs. Elizabeth R. Key, wife of Governor Henry Johnson, after a protracted illness of nearly two years, occasioned by an attack of paralysis, which she bore with christian fortitude and resignation, sustained by the consolation of religion and cheered by the near prospect of an incorruptible inheritance in Heaven.
Her remains were interred in the family vault at her residence in the presence of a large concourse of friends and neighbors; by whom she was greatly respected and beloved.
Mrs. Johnson was born in Maryland in or about the year 1796, and had long resided in Georgetown, District of Columbia. Her father, Philip B. Key, formerly a member of Congress, ranked among the most eminent lawyers of the United States. She was cousin of Francis S. Key, author of the "Star Spangled Banner," and she possessed in a marked degree the genius and talents of her family.
She was an ornament of the society of the national capital, in which she continued to live after her marriage with Gov. Johnson, then a member of the U. S. Senate, and by her intelligence, beauty, and high moral worth, she won the admiration and respect of the distinguished men and women of her day.
A beautiful tribute to her worth has been placed on record by the biographer of Mr. John Randolph in a letter from the pen of that eminent statesman.
Mrs. Johnson had been religiously disposed from early youth, and had long been a devoted member of the Episcopal Church, whose incomparable liturgy and holy rites and sacraments she increasingly prized and used. These, indeed, during her latter days of frailty and debility, formed her chief solace and delight, and never failed to soothe, to cheer and comfort her.
It is understood that Mrs. Johnson has made liberal bequest to her relations, and also to charitable institutions besides one to the Right Reverend Bishop Polk for the poor of Trinity Church, New Orleans, of which church she was for a long period a member.
