HANNAH PRESTON, wife of SAMUEL CARPENTER, 2D, died in Philadelphia on the 6th of March, 1772, in the seventy-ninth year of her age, having survived her husband nearly twenty-four years.

The following obituary notice is copied from a newspaper of that day. "On Friday, 6th instant, died Mrs. HANNAH CARPENTER, widow. Her last illness, though very tedious and painful, was supported with a greatness and strength of mind altogether unusual in one of so advanced an age. Far from repining at the dispensation of Providence, or shrinking at the prospect of death,
she welcomed its approach as the only means of relief from her sufferings and a happy removal from works to reward. Her remains, attended by a great number of citizens, on the Sunday following were interred in the burial ground of the society called Quakers, on Arch Street, Philadelphia, by whom she was always esteemed an exemplary member." Mary Lloyd, the first wife of her grandfather, was the first person interred in the same ground. William Penn was then present, and addressed the assembled mourners by the side of the grave. The descendants of Lieutenant-Governor Lloyd have since exclusively occupied the southwest corner of the enclosure at Fourth and Arch Streets, and there HANNAH CARPENTER sleeps with the other members of her family.
