A female, upon whose memory events were recorded which are only known to the present age through the history of the times in which
they occurred, has just taken her departure from a world in which she had witnessed more extraordinary changes than it has often
fallen to the lot of humanity to survive. This aged female, whose name was Eleanor JOB, died on Wednesday evening, in Church-court
in the parish of St. Giles, London, at the advanced age of 105 years. In the first contest between this country and America, she
accompanied her husband, who was a soldier of artillery, to the latter country, where she attended the army in every campaign that
took place, as principal nurse in what was called at that time the flying hospital. Her intrepidity and humanity were equally
proverbial with the army; for she had been often known to rush forward at the cannon's mouth, on the field of battle, to assist in
the dressing of the wounded soldiers, with whom she was held in such an affectionate regard, that she was familiarly known among
them by the name of "Good Mother JOB." At the battle of Quebec, she was particularly conspicuous in her heroic exertions to relieve
the wounded, and was the person selected on that occasion to prepare for embalmment the remains of the brave, gallant, and lamented
WOLFE. She it was that on that melancholy occasion performed the necessary ablutions of the internal parts of the body. Her husband
having been killed in battle, she returned at the close of the war, to this, her native country, without any adequate provision for
her support, and for the last 50 years she has been a pauper in the parish of St. Giles. Except during the last eight months, she
was able to attend in person at the board-room to receive her weekly allowance, and since that time she has been regularly visited,
and her wants attended to. She continued perfectly rational to the last moment.
