[6] Richmond Patriot
"Died at Rocky Mills, very suddenly, of an apoplexy, on Tuesday the 20th instant, Mrs. Sarah Syme; her health had been as good, perhaps better than common, and her spirits on that day more than unusually cheerful, but in the evening, and without a moment's warning, she was hurried from the hopes and affections of her children, to that country 'from whose bourse no traveler returns'. She possessed a mind highly endowed, but her active virtues were entitled to much higher claims; she was pious, and, when able, punctual in her religious duties; the poor around her residence will long lament that that heart which once sympathized with their sufferings, is now cold, and those hands ever ready to relieve them are closed forever."
