Obituary of Laodicea "Dicey" Langston"
Dicey died on May 23, 1837. Her obituary read:
“Died on Tuesday, the 23rd, Mrs.
Laodicea Springfield, aged 71 years, wife of Thomas Springfield. The deceased
was the daughter of Solomon Langston of Revolutionary memory, whose family
perhaps suffered more from the ruthless ravages of the Tories and Indians than
almost any other, and the subject of this remark took an active part in the
struggle and performed many daring deeds on behalf of her suffering country and
friends. She was the mother of 22 children and has left about 140 grand and
great grand children. She was a kind and affectionate wife, mother, and
neighbor, and has left a large circle of acquaintances to deplore her loss.”
