0 1 ED—At her residence, near Penny Hill,
Pitt County, N. C., Nov. 24th, 1875—
Mrs. Saw.ie Gardneh—in the sixty-
fifth year of her age. She was the daughter
of Kinchen and Pollv Cheny.
If I mistake not, she was marrierl to Joel
1). Gardner in the year 1849, with whom she
lived twenty-six years; but she has now left
him (with many others) to mourn the loss of
an affectionate annpanion, whose place can
never be filled.
She was a kind and affectionate wife : loved
by many and respected by all who knew her.
She left no children of her own to mourn af
ter her; but had two adopted children (nieces
of her’s) which she raised (with her husband)
from infants. Their mothers were taken
from them when they were infants—leaving
them without any one to care for them. She,
moved by sympathy, took them and filled as
near as possible the place of a mother, until
her death. They were both living with her
till she died (myself being one,) besides there
were .sever.al others not tpiite so young who
were left without parents—she raised these
•also—who now fed lonely without her. And,
not only in this way did she display her
kindness, but in doing many other good and
rharitable deeds. In her life she was always
kind to the poor and lenient to all.
She had never united with any Church but
was a firm believer in the Primitive Baptist
iloctrine and had a desire to become a mem
ber of that Church : she seemed to regret not
joining, but by some means could not make it
convenient to attend their meetings during
the Summer.
She was taken sick Friday morning about
3 o’clock with a severe chill which terminal
i,-d in pneumonia, and lived until the next
Wcdne.sday morning, when it pleased the
rreat Author of our being to take her from
lime to eternity. And, I have a hope that
she is now resting from all her troubles, and
enjoying the peaceful presence of the holy
angels.
When she was first taken she seemed to be
ixmscious of her death, and said. That it w.as
too late to do what she had been intending to
do ! (having allusion to the Church.)
She ap(>eared, for a long time previous to
her death, to be dcejily imltressed with the
Zion’s Landmarks; Wilson, N. C.
workings of the Spirit, which gives comfort to
those who arc left behind.
When death came it did not appear to be
accompanied with any fear or great .struggle.
She was confined to her bed only six days
but wa.s conscious till the last. In the latter
part of her sickness she did not appear to
suffer much pain, but complained of great
weakness and thirst. Monday she was t.-tken
with paraiy.sis, and after that she did not
have strength to open her eyes but would
talk to those arcund her bedside, calling them
by name, until Wednesday morning before
she left this vale of tears: she seemed anxious
to see those around her bedside once more be
fore she died. She then opened her eyes
with her.fingers and looked upon those stand
ing by her, appearing to be aware of the fact
that it would not be long before she would
close her eyes no more in this world.
She appeared to be resigned to the will of
God and bore her affliction with great pa
tience and fortitude. Thus passed the much
beloved woman away. It is hard to part with
our nearest and dearest friends ; but, we can
but hope that our loss is her eternal gain, and
hope that when we come to lay this mortal
frame of ours down in death, we may meet
her in heaven where parting will be known
no more.
The tyrant Death came rushing in
That morning his power to .show ;
Out of Chis world he took ray aunt
And laid her visage low.
No more on earth her form ia seen,
To please our watchful eye :
The plant once so fresh and green
Is now in eternity.
The winding-sheet her limbs now bind.
The coffiin now holds her fast:
That day ’twas seen by all her friends.
But that dav was the last.

“ Suffer little children to come unto me
and forbid them not, for of such is the king
dom of heaven.”
4 record the death of
jIjEETE, son ofS. R. and Eliza Si'^
dcpartol thiis life November
1875^^ throat diseabe- aged tbrel
day.s. Elder P. D!!
preached the funeral, from 2nd Kings 4 v
The circumstances of his death were somewhat
•striking. While its fiither was uniting with
God’s Church here below and was receiving
the ordinance of the Church—God was call
ing his little child from earth to join the
Church above, the iis.sembly of the first-born,
to join the innumerable host of angels that
surround the throne of God, and .sing his
praises forever and ever. Yes, little Adeie
Leete is gone ; has ended life’s pilgrimage
ere it had scarcely begun. His little body is
resting sweetly in the City of the Dead.
Etorms of envy and malice may rage but they
cannot reach him now. Elis free’d Spirit has
passed' into the realms of eternal blis-s. 1 le Is
now basking in the smiles of the Father. He
has tuned his harp to his Savior’s praise, and
now walks the golden streets of the new Je
rusalem, happy forever more.
Parents, let this thought con.sole you in
your deep afflictions—that it is well with the
child. Pray that it may be well with you;
strive to meet your babe in heaven where
God will wipe all tears from your eyes, bow
submissively to his will, and say with the
Patriarch of old, “ The Lord givetli and the
Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the
Lord.”
twelve o’clock, P. M. she fell a.sleep in Jesus.
‘‘Asleep in Jesus,” blessed thought. Just be
fore her dissolution she said to her friends
and relatives who were standing by her bed
side: “Let’s go home for I am compelled to
go. I .shall soon be sleeping with my grand
mother.” She was treated by three of tbe
most eminent physicians in the country
Drs. Cheatham, Moore, and Graves. All that
pos,«ibly could have been done by the aid of
medical .skill was certainly done for her.
The di.sease being dropsy of the heart, was,
by her physicians, pronounced almost incura
ble. She bore her misery with unsurpassed
Christian fortitude. She, in 1865, united with
the church at Rehoboth, and, from then un
til the day of her death, lived an exemplary
Christian life. She seemed perfectly re-signed
to her dissolution, and said ; “ I have had a
hope for a long time. I had a hope when I
joined the church : that hope, 1 have had
throughout the meandering scenes of life, and
that hope will enable me to triumph, even
over the dark valley and shadow of death.”—
This mortal shall put onimmortality,and this
corruptible shall inherit incorruption. Y^es,
away from all sorrow and care, she Jias flown
to the land of the bleat. “Blessed are the
dead that die in the Lord ; from henceforth,
yea, saith the spirit, they rest from their la
bors and their works do follow them.” She
leaves many friends to mourn her loss, but
not for one who is without hope. The writer
can look back to the days of his youth, and
can very distinctly remember those palmiest
of days, we, in innocent childish glee, spent
together. It seems but a short time since we
plaved together in the fields, groves, and gath
ered grapes and muscadines along the large
swamp of the Notchaway, upon which I cast
a wistful eye even at this moment, while at
tempting to write this memoir of that once
vigorous, noble, and generous young lady,
but,who.se remains now lie on her lonely bier
wrapped in the icy embraces of death, while
I believe her spirit has soared to those man
sions of bliss where sickness, sorrow, pain and
death are felt and feared no more. Her
corpse looked so calm and serene. Those who
sleep in .lesus are blest.
“Ah ! lovely .appearance of death,
What sight upon earth is so fair;
Not ail the oay ]>ageants f a,t breathe.
Can wiUiE, -.k-ad b ;
This bks.sed Sabbath day, imstead of wend
ing our way to hear preaching, we find our
selves “traveling to the grave to lay this body
down.” At Rehoboth—Rehoboth, “there is
magic in the sound.” How many will start,
even at the sound of that time honored name.
A eoflin, a cavern, and now a mound is all
that marks the last, last resting place of one
ofRelioboth’s fairest daughters. The hand
of time has, too, swept .away that old semina
ry of learning, and her children have been
scattered abroad, while many there sleep in'
her bosom. To-day, the writer, with m.any
of her children comes, to mingle his tears
with theirs over the tomb of Miss Jane ; for
it is manly to weep. We believe she’s at rest
—“over there.” T. A. McWileiams.

Cease, fond parents, cea.se your teai .s,.
The baby lives above ;
He is free from earthly cares.
And dwells where God is love.
He is pillowed on the Savior’s,breast,
He is free forever more :
How sweet and peaceful is his rest
On Caiman’s blissful shore.
When God shall call his ransomed home.
And time shall be complete, '
Then you will stand before his throne
