The Monmouth Atlas
Friday, 12 February 1847

         DIED -
         
         On the 7th inst. of consumption, at the residence
       of R. T. ALLEN, near Berwick, Warren county, Ill.,
       in the 31st year of her age, MRS. JANE A. QUINBY,
       consort of IVORY QUINBY, Esq of said county.
       
         MRS. QUINBY was the daughter of BENJAMIN W. ALLEN,
       Esq. (illegible) of Oneida county, New York, spent
       several years of the early part of her life in Ashta-
       bula county, Ohio, and came to this State with her
       father's family in the year 1835. She was a woman of
       more than ordinary mind, of very agreeable manners,
       and was greatly endeared to all her acquaintances.
       The long and painful illness preceding her death,
       was borne by her without complaint, and she conversed
       frequently and cheerfully on the subject of her 
       approaching dissolution. She uniformily expressed
       a willingness to die, when it should be God's good
       pleasure to take her hence. Up to the very last 
       moment of her earthly existence, she retained her
       senses, conversing with her friends, and rejoicing
       in the prospect of speedily meeting that Crucified
       Redeemer, in whom she had long since reposed her
       trust. Hers was a living faith, and her death was,
       consequently, most happy. The scene, to those who
       witnessed it, was truly solemn and affecting, but
       full of sublime and heavenly hope. It seemed a fore-
       taste of that bliss, which the righteous may hope
       to enjoy, in the mansions of the blest. She has left
       a kind and devoted companion, and a large circle of
       relations and friends to mourn her loss.
