[Taken from a sermon preached at the funeral of Dorcas on July 11, 1849.
"Mrs. Gilbert was born in Guildford, CT, in 1810, the daughter of Rev. Aaron and Mrs. Dorcas Dutton. Her mother deceased in 1841. She was married to Rev. E.R. Gilbert in the ensuing summer. Her father, who with great grief had seen her fading away under the power of fatal disease (consumption), and expected to be a mourner at her grave, was called to his own grave quite suddenly a few weeks before her death."
During her school years, Dorcas boarded and studied in New Haven at the home of Rev. Mr. Herrick's. She made her public profession of faith in 1827. " She has been a devoted wife and mother; and her influence, exerted in a quiet and unostentatious way, has gone forth like the gentle dew and the quickening beams of light. Though her affections, which were particularly tender and strong, caused her to cling to her friends, and to desire to remain with them, yet when it was manifestly God's will that she should die, she yielded with cheerful resignation. The comforts and consolations of the religion which she had exemplified in health sustained and cheered her during her protracted and trying sickness."
