DIED
On Wednesday last, at Bridge-end, Old Hutton, near this town, Mrs. Jane Cornthwaite, in her 87th year. She had six sons and five daughters, all of whom she lived to see married and settled, she was grandmother to eighty-seven, and greatgrandmother to thirty-seven, and such is the spread of her family, that the sun is continually shedding its lustre upon some of her offspring. They are dwellers in Europe, Asia, and America. She was near forty-three years a wife, and twenty-four a widow, she died in the same month, and the same day of the month, on which she committed her husband to the grave, twenty-four years before.

[This will be Jane Home, wife of Richard Cornthwaite -- married in Kirkby Lonsdale in 1756.]
