Notes for Mary Jones LAMBORN
Death Notice At the residence of her son-in-law, Vincent Barnard, in Kennett Borough, on the morning of the 27th ult., MARY J. << PENNOCK>> , consort of the late Moses << Pennock>> , in the 80th year of her age. It is not the object of the writer in noticing this event, to dwell at length on the character of the deceased, but simply to pay a debt of respect to a motherlove, and a slight token to the cause of humanity.
Few persons, it is believed, have had greater cause to acknowledge the kindness of parental affection than those of her household. Endowed by nature with a strong and vigorous intellect, she was enabled to penetrate into the motives that
actuated the minds of her contemporaries with a power rarely surpassed. Feelingly alive to the cause of the great struggle through which we have just passed, she was an early advocate of the rights of the slave, not only in obedience to the individual convictions of right, but also in accordance with
the discipline of the society in which she was educated; thereby rendering herself, with many others, obnoxious to the conservative portion of that body. Long may her children children remember with what assiduity she assisted in
relieving the condition of the suffering freedmen of the south, continuing her labors with unabated ardor until within a few weeks of her serene and tranquil close. Well may the philanthropic women of Penn cherish with grateful
remembrance the services of one so devoted to the interests of
mankind universally.
