Notes/Misc Details
Notes "died from stabs inflicted with a knife" "The mother of nine children who all lived to deplore the loss of so excellent a Mother" "Oh tis a trying thing to be bereft of life By the vile hand of him who called her Wife And those who read may thus infer from hence That this rash act sprang from Intemperance!" See account in Providence paper 4/13/1836 and 4/19/1836
