  	"THE LYNCHBURG VIRGINIAN", on April 4, 1843, published the following obituary for Matilda Lee - Matilda Lee, wife of Capt. Burwell Lee of Leesville, Campbell County, died 15 Mar 1843 age 41 years 3 months leaving 7 children. In writing obituaries, three things must be observed. First, we must confined ourselves to the truth; secondly we should do justice to the dead; and thirdly, endeavor to benefit the living under the influence of these views we have taken our seat to give notice of the demise of Mrs. Matilda Lee, wife of Capt. Burwell Lee, of Leesville, Campbell County, Va. Mrs. Lee had been in bad health for several years but had apparently improved, so much that thoughts were entertained that she would recover; but, about two months before her death, she grew worse, but did not excite serious apprehension until within a week or ten days before her death, which occurred on Wednesday morning, the 15th of March 1843 ________ aged 41 years, 3 mos. _____ religion while young, ______ we have _______________ woman; as a wife, devoted to the interests and happiness of her companion; as a mother, prudent, exemplary and affectionate, as a neighbor, perfectly unobtrusive; and it has not been the lot of many to have so few enemies. But inscrutable are the ways of providence. She has been called hence leaving to mourn her absence, one of the kindest husbands, and seven children, and we hope that the want of her counsel in the domestic circle, and her vacant seat at the table will prove a daily admonition to her family, and be sanctified to the salvation of every member, white and coloured, and that they may follow her as she followed Christ, and finally meet in the Kingdom of Heaven.
