DIED: At Topsfield, Mrs. ESTHER ESTEY, aged 100, relict of the late Mr. Aaron Estey--Early in her youth she became devoted to religion, and was a distinguished member of Christ's Church, for about eighty years.
During which time she maintained a character comporting with her profession. As a wife she was kind, prudent, and virtuous; she was an affectionate and an instructive parent, a humane and indulgent mistress, a generous and obliging neighbor, and a faithful, hospitable friend, at who habitation wine and oil were poured into the wounds of the afflicted, and the indigent were not sent empty away.
As a Christian she was humble and submissive, yet zealous and active, placing all confidence in the merits of Jesus---She stood with her arms girt about, and her lamp trimmed and burning, waiting with patience for that glorious day, when her Lord should call her from this vain world to shout forth ceaseless praises to her redeemer, in his kingdom of unfading felicity.
