Designed as an example for and also to impress on the mind of our only surviving child at prudent? a promising youth for the excellence of that tender mother of which he is bereft earnestly imploring the Benign Influence for his aid and Guide through the many Lying? Deines? of this…Transitory Life. The foregoing is the effusions of a Heart incharged? with the pleasing and endearing reflections on Departed Worth the Loss irreparable to and even to be regretted by her Southful? and Devoted Husband. Mr. Ryan.”
