"Died
on Tuesday, the 23rd ult., Mrs. Laodicea Springfield, aged 71 years, wife
of Thomas Springfield. The deceased was the daughter of Solomon
Langston of Revolutionary memory, whose family perhaps suffered more
from the ruthless ravages of the Tories and Indians than almost any other,
and the subject of this remark took an active part in the struggle and
performed many daring deeds on behalf of her suffering country and friends.
She was the mother of 22 children and has left about 140 grand and great
grand children. She was a kind and affectionate wife, mother, and neighbor,
and has left a large circle of acquaintances to deplore her loss.
