Obituary - Martha Elizabeth Ligon (1833)

Deaths

On the 17th instant, after a lingering illness, Martha Elizabeth Ligon, second daughter of John L. and Mary A. Ligon; aged 2 years, 2 months and 7 days. Happy infant! Thy change was from mortality to glory. An unpolluted flower; an early and sweet sacrifice to Heaven.

"As the sweet flower that scents the mourn,

But withers in the rising day;

Thus lovely was this infant's dawn,

Thus swiftly fled its life away."
