The following obituary appeared in the Western Christian Advocate:� Died, in Portland, Whiteside county, Ill., Sept. 12, 1842, Aseneth, consort of Asa Maynard, in the 62d year of her age. She was a native of Connecticut, from whence she emigrated with her husband into the western part of the state of New York, where she and her husband embraced religion and became members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she ever after continued an excellent member. She with her husband, in 1839, removed to the state of Illinois, where, notwithstanding the comparatively small means of grace, she continued a bright and shining light in a benighted land. As a neighbor, she was highly respected; as a member of the Church, a mother in Israel. In her last sickness, she testified to all that it was not only a place of peace, but of triumphant rejoicing. Wm. H. Buck, Portland, Ill, Nov. 23, 1842
