SMITH - Mrs. Damie F. Bradford [SRGP 00433]
At Cortland, NY, July 28th, Mrs. Damie F. Bradford, wife of W. H. Bradford, and third daughter of N. Smith, Esq., of Sullivan, Tioga Co, Pa., aged 25 years, 7 months and 12 (or 13) days. Her remains were brought home for interment. Rev. Taylor of Mansfield, who only a few short months previous united her in marriage, conducted the bridal service. Death in claiming her has taken one of earths brightest jewels, and one whose loss will long be felt in the circles in which she moved. She was possessed with an unusually sweet and amiable disposition that endeared her to the hearts of all. During her long and painful illness, no murmur or word of complaint was ever heard. She failed rapidly the few last days of her life, and on Friday morning her happy spirit took its flight, leaving her countenance bathed in a halo of radiance as though a ray from the better land had left its impress there. She has left our hearts sad to breaking, yet we know she has only passed before us over the river, beyond which she waits our coming. Her husband, on whom the afflictions falls heavily, has our warmest sympathy. Though he feels his dearest hopes are buried. There is one merciful and strong, who is not unmindful of his sorrow. He also tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, can bind up his broken heart, and comfort him through all the weary journey of life. Damie has passed from earth away; but we know in that happier clime where he cherished ones are garnered, we shall meet again. S. S. (Wednesday, September 6, 1871, The Tioga County Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
