In Peacham, April 25, of apoplexy, Betsey, wife of Simon Blanchard, aged 55. Mrs. B was attacked with the disease of which she died, last Monday morning, and was generally insensible to the day of her death. She leaves behind her a husband and eleven children to mourn her loss, the youngest of whom is 14 years of age. It is a sudden bereavement of Providence, especially since this is the first death in his large family, and also the first on the premises that have been occupied for sixty five years--but we hope it is well with the dead--our loss but her eternal gain. [Vermont Watchman and State Journal, Montpelier, Vermont, May 6, 1852, p.3]
