  [S5352860288] Old Kent: Eastern Shore, Hanson, George A., (Regional Publishing Co, Baltimore, MD, 1967, Originally pub 1876.), 63. The deceased, the youngest daughter of Dr. Jacob and Mrs. Mary Ann Ringgold Fisher, of Kent County, Md., was born the 10th day of September, 1847, and departed this life at the residence of her widowed mother, in Chestertown, in the early morning of the 13th of November, 1875, aged 28 years, 2 months, and 3 days. Tenderly and judiciously reared by affectionate and pious parents, her whole life was but a preparation for that quiet resting place on earth, which she loved so well, and the home prepared in heaven. She was unaffectedly pious, a sincere graces of her disposition except to those who loved her. She made no enemies, cherished no enmities, and was a sincere and unselfish friend. Her character was transparently true and pure. The perfect frankness with which she expressed her sentiments attested the candor of her disposition and the sincerity of her convictions, and was only equaled by the modest firmness with which she gave utterance to her views. It is a blessed comfort to us, to know that she had quietly and silently, in her own closet, prepared herself to meet her God. Months ago, while in the enjoyment of her usual health, she expressed, fully, her wishes in regard to her internment, and less than two weeks before her fatal sickness she reiterated the same wishes, and intimated that she believed she would die before the spring of the year. Though this presentiment was fresh and full in her mind it did not deter her from nursing and watching the besides of a sick and dying relative. . There she contracted the typhoid fever, and fell, as many noble women have done before, a martyr to her affections. She died as we would all like to die -- in the path of duty, at peace with God and man. A star hath fallen heavenward.
