"In this city, at two o'clock yesterday morning, Mrs. SARAH H.B. HOPKINS, aged 28 years, consort of the Rev. Erastus Hopkins.
"Rarely are we called upon to notice an event so affecting. All that medical skill and kind friends could do, was done; but the mandate had gone forth 'return ye,'—the savior had come, an invisible convoy was in readiness, and who could stay the event.
"The death bed scene will long be remembered by those present with indescribable interest. Here were witnessed the triumphs of faith; all was calm and serene within: a sweet and confiding resignation to the will of God was manifested throughout; it remained for her to take leave of her affectionate husband and friends, and commit her young children to him, who 'tempers the winds to the shorn lamb,' which was done in the most tender and affectionate manner. The closing scene came—it was death but it was victory.
"Mrs. Hopkins seemed eminently qualified to fill the important station to which the providence of God had called her. Although her residence with us had been short, she gained a strong hold upon the affections of a numerous circle of friends, who now sincerely mourn her loss.
"The funeral will be attended at the Second Presbyterian Church on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, when a discourse suited to the occasion may be expected, from the Rev. Dr. Snodgrass. The members of the church and congregate, and friends in general, are affectionately invited to be present."
"Died." Troy Daily Whig. May 4, 1838.
Daughter of William Swinton Bennett.
"In Northampton, Mass., on the 26th instant, Sarah Bennett, infant daughter of Rev. E. Hopkins, of this city."
