Died

In this city on Wednesday the 23d inst., MARY JANE WATT.

At her residence near Bloomington, Indiana, on the [illegible] of April, 1862, MRS. NANCY JANE KILPATRICK, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Jamison, in the 22d year of her age.

The deceased was united in marriage to Mr. Thomas Kilpatrick in the Month of February, 1861, and shortly after her marriage, connected herself with the Reformed Presbyterian congregation near Bloomington, having been certified from a neighboring congregation of the [illegible] Presbyterian Church.

Mrs. Kilpatrick gave satisfactory evidence that here religion was real; her great theme was Christ, and [illegible] through Him. She believed that Christ was [illegible] and willing to save her, and in Him and His perfect righteousness she placed all her trust. She was deeply righteous for the spiritual welfare of her friends, her great desire was that they might be Christ’s, to glorify Hime here, and enjoy Him hereafter.

Her list illness was short, and from its commencement she was fully resigned to the will of her Redeemer – His time was hers, and she hastened to be ready. She leaves behind her husband and an infant babe, besides a large circle of friends to mourn their loss.
