The National Intelligencer, March 5, 1833

Departed this life on Monday morning, the 4th inst. after an illness of only a few hours, Mrs. Jane Maria Tabbs,
daughter of the late Charles Carroll, of Bellevue, and wife of Moses Tabbs, Esq. of this city.

Afflictive visitation!
most severe calamity!
deeply felt by a bereaved husband,
orphan children,
endeared
connections,
a widely extended circle of friends and acquaintances,
and the Church of Jesus Christ, of which
she was both a member and an ornament.
They had not thought to be so soon deprived of her cherished
society and friendship;
but they acquiesce in the will of God.
In the decease of this excellent lady,
there has vanished from among us a mind of superior cast, full of affection and benevolence, highly cultivated and
improved, and constantly exercised for the good of her species.
We have seen her, at no distant period, amid
the haunts of death, when his arrows were most thickly sped, and his victims were numerous--there she
breathed his pestilential breath, and ministered comfort to the poor sufferers. She feared not death!

Friendship would its offering bring,
And wreathe her marble brow,
And richest odours round her fling,
And o'er her coffin bow:-
Would stamp his dust no common mould,
Which her bess'd spirit wore,
And while her virtues it extol'd,
Her God, too, would adore:
Would bend resign'd and kiss that dust,
And bess the God who gave,
And in her Saviour place its trust,
That God who wills to save:
Would check the tear, would hush the sigh,
Which speak of ill to thee,
Dear friend, now gone to God on high,
In bless'd eternity.

The friends and acquaintances of the family are respectfully requested to attend the funeral of the deceased at
1 o'clock, p.m. this day, without further notice.
