Excerpt from Writings of Miss. Fanny Woodbury: Who Died at Beverly, November 15, 1814, Aged 25 Years Miss Fanny Woodbury, daughter of Mr. Isaac and Mrs. Anna Woodbury, was born at Hamilton, Mass., Sept. 10, 1791. In her infancy she was dedicated to God in baptism. Possessed of a slender constitution, she rarely knew what it was to enjoy good health, and was often brought apparently to the very gates of death. When about three years old, her sense of hearing was greatly impaired by a fever; and her deafness, which was sometimes much greater than usual, was one of her greatest trials through life. It is probable that her afflictions were in a great degree the means of leading her to realize the importance of religion. The particular occasion of bringing her to deep and solemn consideration, was an account of a revival of religion among the members of Bradford Academy, which she received in a letter from her sister.
