She was a good wife and mother and a pious christian, uniting herself
with the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in early life, was baptized by Rev. J.G.
Landrum, remained in that Church till after her marriage, after which
she moved her membership with her husband to Middle Tyger, where she
remained till her death. She leaves a husband and four little children
and a host of friends to mourn her loss, the youngest babe only 8 weeks
old. Her husband always had family prayer and when he was absent till
after bedtime, she would always read her lesson and have prayer with her
children. She was taken sick suddenly and in a little time became
speechless, after which she never spoke again. She departed as sweetly
and quietly as a babe goes to sleep. She was attended by Dr. J.O.
Vernon, who did all he could. She was buried in the cemetery at Middle
Tyger. Blessed are the dead who die in the lord.
