The deceased lady was a mother of nine children, six of whom survive her, three sons and three daughters, also, four brothers and two sisters of the deceased survive her, who with devoted husband sincerely mourn their bereavement of a loving wife, mother, and sister.
Mrs. Laverty was held in the most tender respect by her family. She was a devoted wife to her husband and a loving mother, which makes the loss to her family more severely felt, but so far as sympathy of friends may ameliorate their affliction they have it in the fullest measure. But few ladies were so highly respected by those who knew her best, and her departure from this life is sincerely regretted by many friends.
She has gone with hope of a better life where there is hope of a better life where there is not sorrow or sickness and where all may wish to follow when time for departure arrives.
