"Mary BEE, who married Robert GILBERT, was early left alone with her four children, Mr. GILBERT having left home for a long journey and it was supposed died without any way of communicating the circumstances of his death to his family. Mrs. GILBERT managed judiciously, bought land near her mother's and was as successful in making a home and living comfortably as were her brothers. She had one son and three daughters. The son lived until 1888, and the youngest daughter, now Mrs. Henrietta BENSON, is still living (pub. 1896). In the late autumn of 1826, a little girl who lived with a neighboring family came in one morning on an errand. It was cold and she was given a seat near the fire. When it was time for her to go, Mrs. GILBERT found her to be in a severe chill, and as she thought unable to go out again in the cold. She grew rapidly worse, was put in bed and carefully nursed. Physicians were scarce and far off, and people often had to go without them, even when sorely needed, but in this case one was summoned from Olean and he pronounced it a case of typhus or typhoid fever. Thomas Gilbert and Thomas Bee were stricken with it, but after many weeks the first three recovered, but two of their faithful nurses, Harriet and Marrianne Gilbert, were taken, for they gave their young lives as the result of their benevolent work. Mrs. GILBERT was a very loving mother, but she was not one who put her hand to the plough and looked back, for years afterward whe said to a friend, "I have never regretted taking in that poor, sick, little girl. Mrs. GILBERT was a Christian. Catherine Hanson was still living in her mother's family (Mary BELL's) at the time of her (Mary GILBERT's) conversion, and speaking of it only a short time before her death, said, "That was a real conversion and her life was ever after beautiful from its conformity to the Gospel." Her daughters had imbibed their mother's spirit and were also Christians, and were ready for death's summons...."
