Heyer, Jane | d. 10 May 1854 | 84 yrs. | R 33 S 207 | |
Heyer. On the morning of the 10th instant, Jane Heyer, in the 85th year of her age, a native of the city of New York, but for the last 43 years a resident of this city. The deceased leaves to her family and friends a memory honored and endeared by the exercise of meek piety, active kindness, and warm affection. For some years her health has been gradually declining; yet, notwithstanding the infirmities of age, she was always thoughtful for others rather than for herself, and she ever contributed cheerfulness to those around her. Her voice was never heard save in tones of gentleness and love. Fully resigned, and trusting in the promises of Christ, she has passed away with the Christian's hope. "Sweet to look back, and see my name In life's fair book set down; Sweet to look forward, and behold Eternal joys my own." The friends of the deceased, as well as those of her sister, Mrs. Louisa F. Zantzinger, are respectfully invited to attend her funeral, from her late residence, corner of New York avenue and 8th street, on this (Thursday) afternoon, at 4 o'clock, without further notice. |
