Departed this life at her residence in Pike County, Georgia, June 18th, 1859, in the 61st year of her age, Mrs. Juliana Eppinger, wife of Hon. James Eppinger and daughter of the late Col. Wm. Throop of Bristol R.I.
In the decease of Mrs. Eppinger, society has lost one of the brightest monitors, to an intellectual and spiritual life. Endowed with remarkable grasp of intellect, her early education was thorough in philological studies, and elegant female accomplishments, while her unceasing thirst for knowledge, added to her attainments, all modern progression in science and literature. Gifted with a retentive memory, and uncommon fluency of diction, it was ever a pleasure to her, to communicate to others, from her ample intellectual stores, in language, unstudied, elegant and appropriate.
Noble and pure minded, her thoughts dwelt only on such subjects as refined human nature. Possessed of warm social instincts, her ready sympathy extended to all with whom she held intercourse, while her society and conversation elevated all around her.
Equally remarkable with her extensive mental attainments, was the extraordinary zeal with which she performed all domestic duties. Energetic and untiring, a faithful wife, a devoted mother, a warm friend, to her servants indulgent and affectionate to an extreme degree, none save those within her immediate circle, could realize her diligence in all that could contribute to the comfort and happiness of those around her, while her unselfish nature ever led her to assume every burden, to relieve others
Unbounded in her benevolence of heart, she ever considered herself as but a stewardess of the gifts of fortune. Self denying, in all personal gratification, her ready aid through life was ever extended to the poor and needy. None, save the almoners and recipients of her bounty knew of the countless benefits her charity ever extended; her heart responded to the claim of those less favored to a share of all that she possessed.
Comparing her attainments with the vast field of knowledge in Science and Art, and her spiritual life with the one model, she judged herself with a humility of self appreciation, few could comprehend, who knew her nanny and diverse gifts.
In her intense love of Nature, her heart breathed forth a constant hymn of gratitude to the Great Author of the Universe. Her appreciation of all that was beautiful was one of her highest sources of enjoyment, and brightened each moment of her life, departing only with her last breath.
In early life, she dedicated herself to God's service, and having thus diligently walked in His commandments, her last moments were unobscured by a single shadow; no fear, no doubt, or regret visited her beatified soul. Joy and Love and Peace ineffable, filled her heart to overflowing. In the promises of Holy Writ, in the eloquent language of all her familiar poets, and in her own flowing diction, her lips breathed unceasingly, comfort to those to be soon bereaved; and without pain or struggle, her soul passed from peace on earth, to "life in Christ unchangeable."
