Died — Of consumption, on the 2d inst., at the residence of Mr. S. S. Bassett, in this place. Mrs. Mary H. Giddings, aged 66 years, 10 months and 1 [sic] day. Aunt Mary (as she was usually called) was a native of Virginia, and with her parents, at an early age, moved to Kentucky. In 1833 the family came to Missouri and settled on the farm now owned by Judge Hanger. In 1834 she was married to Mr. Wm. B. Giddings. In 1841 she became a member of the Christian Church and was ever after a devout and consistent follower of the meek and lowly Saviour. Mrs. Giddings was a lady of very fine information, possessed a good memory and was very pleasant and entertaining in conversation. For a number of years Mrs. Giddings has been in delicate health and her death, at any time within the last four or five years, would not have been any very great surprise to her friends, and yet when the grim monster issued his summons, they were wholly unprepared for the shock. About ten days since, she came to Paris to visit her daughter, Mrs. Bassett, and only the evening before her death, sent word to her husband to come for her soon, to take her home. Truly "in the midst of life we are in death." She was a good, a noble and a true woman and has gone to meet the reward of the just.
