Ebenezer's Death

Although we've known it with some certainty for a while, it's nice to see it in the journalistic record, and to know that the Floyds' life was sufficiently respectable (that Victorian word for appropriately-classed) that Ebenezer's death warranted an obit in the local paper.
From The Bristol Mercury for May 5, 1834:
One line, but confirmation of the two bits of data on which so much of the story (in the Robert Francis sense) of Emma's early life is based.
