Hartford, July 24. We hear from Hebron, that on Sunday the
14th of June last, the Rev'd Mr. Samuel Peters was married
to the delicate and amiable Miss Abigail Gilbert, daughter
of Samuel Gilbert, Esq; of that place---and that on the 14th
of instant, July, about 11 o'clock at night, this pleasant
bride, departed this life by an illness, termed by the
physicians an improper chorea sonata viti, after 5 days
illness, to the inexpressible grief of her consort, parents,
brethren and acquaintance. . . [14 lines describing funeral]
the marriage and festal days were begun and carried on with
proper joy and solemnity; but--their end is death, without
dancing, or a merry mood. . . [2 lines rhymed epitaph].
