Litchfield Enquirer 24 September 1835
DIED, In this village, on Sunday evening, the 20th inst., Miss ABBY WARD, daughter of Mr. William Ward, aged 20 [age 29 on stone] years. Her disease was malignant Typhus Fever, which proved fatal in the space of one week. The religious and moral character of Miss Ward; her amiable disposition; extensive usefulness and great benevolence; her uncommon energy and disinterestedness, had secured the esteem and friendship of a large circle of real friends. Her death must prove a great loss to the family, to society, and to all who knew her merits and her worth. It may indeed, we think, with truth be said that the death of no young woman in the town would be more sensibly felt or deeply regretted. It is great consolation to mourners to know that the sleep of the grave will terminate. Happiness is not to be found in this life. May this consideration teach us to seek our happiness in the practice of virtue; in the knowledge and love of God; and in the hope of a better life beyond the grave, through the merits of a blessed Saviour.
