Died in this village, on the 20th instant, aged 61 years, Lucinda B., wife of George L. Whitney, Editor of the Ontario Repository. Her funeral, from the Congregational church, on Tuesday, was attended by a large concourse of friends. She was the youngest daughter of the late Dr. Wm. A. Williams of this place, and thus closely related to several of our most respectable families. She has been for more than twenty years an esteemed member of the Congregational Church, and in all the relations of life has endeared herself to all who knew her, by her unaffected piety and kindness. Her husband and six children are left to mourn in her death the loss of a most exemplary wife and mother, and her many kindred and friends cherish an affectionate memory of her virtues. Having patiently borne for weeks past a painful disease from which she knew she could not recover, she found in death a release from the prospect of protracted sufferings, and drew near the end with a lowly estimate of herself, but with adoring contemplations of Christ her Savior, and glowing hopes of the "rest" that "remaineth for the people of God."
