In Little Genesee, N. Y., April 8th, 1847, of typhus fever, Mrs. Eliza C. Boss, wife of Joseph Boss, and daughter of Ezekiel Crandall, in the 25th year of her age. Of the subject of this notice it is just to say, that in her character there was a rare assemblage of those virtues which adorn the wife, the mother,and the Christian. The place which she held in the affections of her family, of society, and of the church, was such as to render her death an occasion of deep mourning. But she, "being dead, yet speaketh." Her memory will live in the heart of every admirer of eminent piety. T. E. B.
