Gold—Dear Brother It now become.s my iniinfiil duty to record tlie death of our eldest daughter, A LEY FRANCES BROWNING, who departed this lile, Feb, 12th, 1877—aged twenty-seven vears. She h.ad heen laboring under disease for many years, caused by derangement of the liver, together with other diseases peculiar to females. Her last illness assumed :i charac- tet' not easily tunlerstood, it seemed, by her attetiding physician. But sl.e, in all proba bility, had iiiilaination of the stomach. The dccea.sed daughter was of a kind and amiable disposiiknt rmd always made friends wdierever her l«)t wa.s cast. Truly the neigh bors and friends in the immediate vicinity have lost a warm-hearted friend, and one who was ever ready to aid iit anything necessary to their comfort, esj>ecially the sick. I never witnessed a case where a person seemed to suffer more, for two day.s and nights. She never had made any profession, but left with us the bles.sed assurance of her hope in Christ, On the morning of tlie 11th she swooned away for some time, and as she regained her conscioii.sness she grasped my hand and calmly said, “ Don’t grieve for me. 1 am going to die. I do not want a tear slied ; for 1 am going to rest. My Savior appeared unto me long, long ago.” Many of tlie relatives were present, and site said she hoped they all would be prepared to meet her in heaven, to which I could but respond, amen 1 At one time she said to me : ” FiUlier, my troubles have been great. At one time I sat in the door and watched the road for you to return from Con yers, to .ask you to pray for me. That night my troubles seemed more than I could bear. I asked my husband to pr^y for me.” She said many other things expressive of her own insufficiency, and you may be assured, broth er Gold, that this was glad tidings to me, and .at the same time how keenly I felt the repri- maiid for not asking the dear daughter con cerning her iiopc prior to this lime and en couraging her to take up her crais. Hhe re peatedly said to her relatives and friends, “ Don’t shed tears for me,” and saiil to lier weeping mother, “ Mother, 1 a»i almost done with this w'orld. Oh ! how I long to go. I’ll he free from suflering then.” She breathed her List at one o’clock P. M., Feb. 12th, as calmly as an infant in sweet repose. She left a kind-hearted husband, two iiitle daughters, aggd four and six years, fatlier, mother, two .sisters, four brothers, and mi- merons relatives to mourn they- loss, but we mourn not as those who have no liope, hut feel that our loss is her eternal gain. “Ex cept a corn of wJieat fall into tlie ground and die, it abideth alone ; but if it die, it bringeth fortli much fruit. -Jolin 12 : 24. Wiicn from tlie dead He raised Jiis Son, ! And called Him to the'sky; He gave mir souls a living hope ' ' Tliat tliey .should never die. t Wliat though our inbred sins require Our llesh to see the dust; A'et .as tlie J.ord enr Savior rose, So all Ills followers rau>t. There’s an inheritance divine. Reserved against that day ; ’Tis incornqited, undcfiled. And can not fade awav. Your.s, in hope, JOHN B, KEEN. Conycr.s, Rockdale co., Ga., Feb. 2Sth, 1877. —“ Primitive Pathway,” please copy. Brothe)' Gold:— Please publish this notice of the death of MTLLIE L. ROBEKT.S, only son of J. M'. and Jennie Roberts, who departeil this life, March 18th, 1877, aged 1 year, II months and 7 days. He died from an inturnal *'nrn, having fal len near the fire and sucking some down his throat. His sufierings were great, but soon ended in everlasting rest. He was a sweet, promising little boy and the idol of Ids par ents. I feel that I truly sympathize with them and hope it may cause them to think of tlie certainty of death, and be ready to meet their dear little boy 'in that heavenly home to which he lias gone to spend an eternal rest. While I looked on its lifeless form I Lit the force of these lines : An early summons .Jesus sends, 'To call little WILLIE above; And whispers o’er the weeping friend.s, ’Tis all the fruit of love. To save the little child from woe. And guard it from all harm, I dwelt in human form below And called it to my arms. Blit do not rashly with me strive, Nor vainly fast or weep ; WILLIE, though dead, is yet alive, And only fallen asleep. He’s on the .Savior’s bosom laid, Atid feels no sorrow there ; He’s by a heavenly parent fed, And needs no more your care. A FRIEND. Leaksville, N. C., March 26th, 1877. Leaksville, N. C., March 30th, 1877. Dear Brother Gold; — 1 seat myself at the request of my mother, to write something in memory of our dear de parted sister, N.ANCY I. DeH.ART, consort of brother Charles DeHart. She was born and raised in P.atrick county, Ya. Slie left thi.s world of sin and woe on the 10th of Dec., 1876, alter great snffhring of bodily pain for six months or inorcv I am not prepared to write this obituary as it should be, as we lived some forty miles apart and have not liad the pleasure of seeing her since our Association at Matrirrrony in 1870, at the time you saw her at my father’s ; though I liavebeen informed that she rejoic ed at the thouglit of death and told her friends tliat Je.sus remembered lier in her youth, and had taken care of her when she had been forgetful of him, and that now He remembered her in Jove and mercy in the cold arms of death. She begged Christians not to let their minds be engaged with tile things of the world. She had been a worthy member of Jack’s Creek, church for many year.s. She w.as a neice of the late Elder Da vid Conner. She was a special and favorite friend of mine. Indeed she was a mother in kindness to me in my youtliful days. I lov ed her dearly, and earnestly believe she has gene to her heavenly home to rest from .all her troubles, and I have a faint hope of meet ing her in that happy land where we will sing redeeming love witliout tiring. Let me say to my good old brother, and I might say father DeHart, hold U|i your head and leok forward to that day when yon shall Lay down mortality and shall hear tliat m.^sage, “Come in thon blessed,” Ac Ob, what a delightful day to see God in his glory, and never tear sin or death any more. I feel that I know how to weep with tho.se that weep. M. J. STONE. MARRIED. BRYANT-PUri’CHETT—At the red- dince of the bride’s fatlier—by Elder W. T.
