At Mills Village, in the 28th year of her age, after being put to bed 12 days, Mrs. Abigail N. Mack, consort of Mr. James Mack, son of the widow of Mr. William Mack, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mack. She paid the debt of nature, by passing through the gates of death with triumphant faith, 11th ult. at 11 o'clock at night, leaving a loving and beloved husband and three young children, father, mother, mother-in-law, five brothers and four sisters, seventeen nephews, eleven nieces and seven cousins, fifty one in all, bearing the name of Mack. One sister and sister's husband, one uncle, two aunts, four cousins and three nieces of different other names, making in the whole sixty three, besides a number of farther off relations, to mourn and lament her loss; but not as those who have no hope, for many of them could rejoice that their loss was her eternal gain. Having had, by the grace of God, the sting of death so taken away, as to enable her to say, five days previous to her death, "O! Father I am going to Heaven before you, which is more than I expected, but I shall see you there, O yes father, I know I shall;" and continued in the same happy state of mind during her last five days, except being a little out at times on the last. Her last words were "come Lord Jesus, come Lord." All was now laid prostrate before the mighty conqueror, except a small spark of the vitality of life, which held out about 15 minutes longer, when every other member and faculty of the body, had to surrender upon the conqueror's own terms, which would be nothing less than relinquishing all right, title, interest, claim and possession to the clay tenement, until the resurrection of the body. She was an affectionate, loving and beloved wife and mother – a loving and beloved child – and was esteemed (the writer believes) by all who were acquainted with her. Soon as she thought she should die and not live, her affections were weaned as it were in a moment of time from all the ties to this vain, delusive and transitory world, and immediately began to set her house in order – disposed her wearing apparel, and all that belonged to herself, (by her husband's leave) to her only daughter, a child 15 months old, and requested her sister B. to take care of them for her, and also the child, and bring her up in the fear of God – spoke of the winding sheet, the grave and her funeral, with much composure, and wished to have nothing superfluous about them – wished her death to be often spoken of in our meetings – and that we should warn sinners to prepare to meet their God. "O! said she, if I had now to prepare for death, I feel that I should be in a very awful condition, but thanks to God death has lost his sting." She had experienced the pardoning love of God, about 8 years before, in the same house in which she died, herself and four other young women at the same time, under peculiar circumstances, which, with the account of her death, will be more particularly stated hereafter.
