After my decease, my dwelling, out buildings and offices to be disposed to the proprietors of the settlement according to the agreement. After death, my body is to remain uninterred 4-5 days - particularly if that event is occasioned by apoplexy. I direct that my funeral be frugal - a plain deal coffin.

    "Lydia Athenlack, a well-known inhabitant of Gracehill died. She was born in Dublin in 1737 of respectable and wealthy parents, and married a tradesman there. She heard of Gracehill when visiting relatives in the north, and was received into the congregation in 1783, spending 27 years here. She was altogether an eccentric character and had much trouble with her children - and many maladies. In her latter years, she lived entirely alone, someone attending for a few hours each day. On account of her great bulk, she lived upstairs, letting down from the window a little basket for provisions, and the door key for those she permitted to enter. Notwithstanding her oddities, she showed evidence of great piety, and was removed from her "troublesome house of pilgrimage" in her 73rd year. She bequeathed a sum of money to build and extension to the Widows House."
