"On the first instant, died at the home of Mr. Samuel Erwin in the manor of Moreland, MRS REBECCA TREAT, widow of Rev. Dr. Treat, late of Abington. She was a woman of strong and decisive mind and remarkable for a quick and penetrating discernment. She was engaged in the early part of her life in active and busy scenes, and was distinguished for the firmness and prudence of her conduct. But this is her lowest praise. She was a good woman and pious christian exemplary in the discharge of all the private and relative duties, beloved by her friends, and respected by all who knew her. She bore her last illness with christian resignation, and when exhausting nature after a few struggles gave up the contest, she calmly sank away and expired in the 76th year of her age. She was interred in the grave where the venerable remains of her former husband were deposited and a funeral sermon well adapted to the occasion was preached by the Rev. Mr. Tenant. I Cor. 15-34."
