Sunday 10th August 1834
“Death has again invaded our little society, and made us hang our weeping harps on the willows. Mrs. Gumbs, a stranger lately come to reside at the Common, was led to hear the word at our chapel; and she soon found the God of her salvation there. A few weeks ago, she was sent for to go to Wales, to take possession of some property recently left her by the will of a deceased relation. On the day that she was expected home, here to settle in peace and comfort with her young family, news was brought that she was buried! Aged forty-three years.”
William Daniell, The History Of Warminster Common, published 1850.
