Richmond Whig (Richmond, Va.)
18 November 1862
At Green Vale, in the county of Lancaster, Oct. 31st, 1862 after a severe illness of eleven days, Miss ROSALIE C. TOWLES, daughter to the Rev. John Towles, of Prince William county, in the 15th year of her age.
"Light be the turf of they tomb;
May its verdure like emeralds be,
There should not be the shadow of gloom,
In aught that reminds us of thee!
Young flowers and an evergreen tree,
May spring from the spot of they rest
But not cypress or yew let us see,
For why should we mourn for the blest.
