      DEATHS
      BURROWS -- Near Kenton, November 11th, Mrs. Susan Burrows, widow of

      On July 2, 1999, Trian Koutoufaris found a small sampler in a trunk in
      the attic at 10 Carnoustie Road, Dover, Delaware. To our great delight,
      it was a sampler wrought by Susan Foreacres in the year 1819.
      The wording is as follows:

      JeSuS permit thy graciouS name to Stand
      As the FirSt effort of an infant hand.
      And whilSt her fingerS are this canvaff move
      Engage her tender heart to Seek thy love
      With thy dear children let her Shear a part
      And write thy name thySelf upon her heart
