Mrs. Cushman was the eldest
daughter of the late Rev. R. W. Gridley, formerly of Williamstown, Mass. Her

distressed, and to afford relief so far as was in her power, she was greatly
endeared to a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances, who are left to
mourn her early departure, but not as those who mourn without hope. In the

her faith in the Saviour, consecrated herself to the service of him who had
redeemed her to himself. Her days have been few, but enough. She sleeps with
Jesus, and in the morn of the Resurrection will rise to a glorious
immortality beyond the grave.
