Excerpt from Dally When people wished to speak of Mrs. Abijah Jacobs in a way that was at once descriptive and polite, they called her a "widow lady." It was universally felt that the term widow by itself did not sufficiently indicate that the bereaved object was an individual of the human species, and of the female sex. There were some who allowed themselves to say "widow woman," but these were careless in their speech, and not to be considered on this occasion.
