OBITUARY
Died, in Chesterfield county, on the 28th of February, 1865, DELIA S., wife of James B. Vaughan, in the fortieth year of her age.
In breaking this link, the stroke of death has made a wide space in the family circle and sent a pang of sorrow to the hearts of many friends. Of a kind and cheerful disposition, yet plain and unassuming in her manners, she had endeared herself to all who knew her. In early life she professed religion and ever maintained a reputation for uniform and consistent piety.
As she lay at the very threshold of eternity, struggling with death, her eyes turned upon those she most loved on earth, and, in faint and faltering accent, she gasped,"Meet me, meet me, in Heaven." In the relationship of wife, mother, child and sister, no one was ever truer and kinder-and ever more beloved. The portals of the tomb are closed over her, but she is not forgotten; thought to remember, be to lament, we will cherish her memory, and not accept of consolation that must be brought by forgetfulness.
Sad and grief-stricken husband, weeping children, mourning relatives, may the pang of separation be soothed by the circumstances of her death, and the consolation that "ye sorrow not as others who have no hope."
