In Aurora, Ill., on Tuesday morning, Feb. 6th, of congestion of the brain, Mrs. Ann T. Carpenter, wife of Philo Carpenter, aged 57 years.
Funeral services will be held from the house of Wm. W. Streng, 832 West Washington street, at 10 o'clock, and the public services at the First Congregational Church, corner of Washington and Green streets at 11 o'clock a.m. on Saturday.
Thus has been gathered another of that little pioneer band who stood sponsor for Chicago in the days of its unpromising infancy. The deceased was a native of Saratoga County, New York, and came here as a bride in the spring of 1833. She connected herself with the First Presbyterian Church, then under the pastoral charge of Jeremiah Porter, and subsequently with the Third. On the organization of the First Congregational Church she united with that body, and remained an active and faithful member until her decease. The noble Christian virtues of this estimable lady, though widely known, can never be duly weighed, save in the balance of eternity. The sick and suffering, the unfortunate, knew her best, and to such, the kind word and unobtrusive charity were unfailing. Through long years of peculiarly painful trial, she maintained that patient fortitude and sweet submission to the Divine will, which only characterize God's true children. There are many beyond the circle of the bereaved family over whose spirits this grave shadow will linger long and heavily.
