“DIED.—On the 24th inst. Mrs. Abigail Keyes, in the 86th year of her age, after a short but painful sickness. For many years she had been an exemplary professor of the christian religion, and its great duties had attentively observed. To its peculiar doctrines, which she correctly understood, she was zealously attached. In the various vicissitudes of her life she had its supports, and in her last hours experienced its consolations. For she died in the hope of a blessed immortality, and in a firm reliance on the infinite merits of the DIVINE SAVIOUR.”
—The Connecticut Courant (Hartford, Connecticut), Wednesday, March 30, 1808, p. 3, col. 4.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Oct 6 2022, 22:36:03 UTC
