Title
Death of Mrs. Kent
Description
'Gentlest of spirits! - not for thee
The loss of such women as Elizabeth M. Chandler, - Anne G. Chapman, and Lucia Anne Kent, is, humanly speaking, a most afflictive dispensation, and wholly irreparable. - Liberator.
Our tears are shed, our sighs are given:
Why mourn to know thou art a freePartaker of the joys of heaven?
Finished thy work, and kept thy faith
In Christian firmness unto death:
When Autumn's sun is downward going,
The blessed memory of thy worthAround thy place of slumber glowing!'
The loss of such women as Elizabeth M. Chandler, - Anne G. Chapman, and Lucia Anne Kent, is, humanly speaking, a most afflictive dispensation, and wholly irreparable. - Liberator.

From the Liberator
The anti-slavery cause in New Hampshire, or more truly throughout the country, has sustained a very serious loss in the death of MRS. LUCIA ANNE, wife of GEORGE KENT of Concord, aged 39. She was one of the brightest ornaments of her race, zealous in all good works, with a heart full of benevolence and sympathy, intrepid and compromising in her principles, and combining the most resplendant traits in her character. - A great multitude of admiring and sympathising friends attended her funeral.
