Mary D. Collins died the 14th f 6th Month 1838 Aged 34 years, after a long
and suffering illness through which she evinced great patience and disposal
to the Divine Will, how it might terminate, her life tho' short was exemplary
and pious, possessing good talents and a sweet urbanity of manners, she
devoted them to usefulness, and the performance of her duties, as a Wife,
Mother and Friend, and very remarkably in the Education of her children,
instilling in their young minds the most purity of morals and the sublimest
views of Religion agreeable to her profession.

She was greatly beloved by a very extensive circle of acquaintance both at
home and abroad, having travelled for her health - and is as greatly lamented
especially by her family and near friends - For a long time before her close
she often expressed her readiness and anxiety to go, that her prospects were
bright, and fully assured of a happy and eternal rest, which continued to her
last moments. -

She was interred in friend's Burying Ground the 17th at Milton Ulster County
State of New York.

Mary D. Collins with her husband and four children left New York for Milton on
the 20th of 5. Mo 1838 for the benefit of purer air.


My dear Father Eleazar Dudley departed this life the 5th of 1st Month 1800.  I
think he said he was born in 1739.

My dear Mother Anne Dudley departed this life the 21st of 8th Month 1828, i
think she used to say she was about two years younger than my dear Father.  
They were both interred in friends burying ground at Knackballymaher near
Roscrea in the County of Tipperary, Ireland and I have no doubt are inheriting
the reward of their useful well spent lives.  Edward Dudley.

My dear son Edward Dudley closed a well spent life the 18th of 11 mo 1835
aged 38 years. - A Character marked with many amiable and valuable traits a
Dutiful, Affectionate Son, Brother and friend, whose death was in accordance
with his correct life, evincing a happy resignation to the Divine will and a
consoling assurance of a Glorious Admission into the Mansions of rest.  May
our great loss and the memory of his excellent example be sanctified to his
surviving relations!
