"In this city, yesterday, at noon, Sarah Catharine Walker, aged 18 years, the eldest daughter of the late S.P. Walker, Esq. whose decease was announced in this paper but a few weeks ago. Endowed by nature with many virtues, this interesting young lady has been unexpectedly, after a short illness, snatched from a circle of attached relatives and friends, who will mourn over their loss. Thus, within less than two months, has this family been bereaved of a Father, and a devoted Daughter. Overwhelming as are these bereavements to a widowed mother and a numerous family, there is yet, for those that mourn, much and rich consolation in the belief that both the Father and the Child have been raised from a state of checkered and uncertain happiness to that peace which awaits the pure and upright in a better world.

To an understanding of no ordinary cast, the subject of this notice added a frankness and kindness of heart seldom found united in the same character. As a daughter and sister, she was unsurpassed in fidelity and affection, and her loss must be long and deeply felt by those who were the objects most dearly cherished by her while living.

The Funeral of the deceased will take place this day at 11 o'clock from the residence of her Mother on C street near Gadsby's Hotel."
