'Mrs. Caroline Elizabeth Tur
ner, relict of the late Dr. II . M.
Turner, departed this life at the
home of her grandson Hon. Os
car J. Spears in Liilington, this
county, on Friday the" 14th of
January, 185)8.
The death of this aged chris
tian woman removes from
us another one of the
few who are left whose lives
link the present, with the be
ginning of the present century.
Mrs. Turner was born Oct.
27th, 1808, and hence died in
the ninetieth year of her age.
It is vouchsafed to few to bear
e,. j i
iur so many years lime s rav
aging hand, but her body, like
her mind, was cast in the molds
of that stern unyelding fibre,
peculiar to those born for gen
erations in the past. Her life
was an eventful one her cares
were many and her respon
sibility great, but she met ev
ery duty with that unfaltering
courage born of christian faith
and trust, that the clouds of
adversity nor the " shadows of
some bereavement could never
shake. "What her hands found
to do, she did with- all her
might. Duty was the guid
ing star that directed
and con-
troled her life, and
nothimr
stayed her hand in its fujl per
formance herself, nor did she.
excuse its neglect in others.
Mrs. Turner was tke daughter
of the late Neill- McNeill, a
wealthy farmer of the older
time, who left two children.
Col. A. S. McNeill and kerself,
She was married in early life
to Dr. II. M, Turner of Anson
county who afterward located
in Harnett and became one of
the most distinguished physi
cians, of the upper Cape Fear.
Dr. Turner died in 18 . By
this niarriage she had three
children, one son and two
daughters. The son a gallant
cavalry officer of the Confed
eracy, gave liis young life to his
country on the held of battle ;
the two daughters Mrs. Col. J.
A, Spears and Mrs. Dr. W. M.
McNeill, died shortly after the
war, leaving a number of chil
dren, nearly all of whom live
in this county. These children
were the objects o.f their grand
uiothcrs mo'st tender care and
alfection,! and were the com
fort and solace of her ; declining
years. Surrounded by these
loved ones, with the fires of her
strong intellect burning with
the brightness of mid-day life,
witk kerlpillow smothed 'by the
magic touch of affections hand,
she laid aside the cares and
concerns of this life, to put on
the robe ;and crown of the new
heavenly life, that awaits all
those who like herself, are faith-

is the death bed
scene oT adyis christian ! How
eloquently does it bear testi-
rnonv to th; rpnlitv of rmr hiss
ed religion.' From such a scene
the dark spirit of skepticism
flees in confusion of fear: What
can rob death of its sting or the
grave of its victory, sure the
promises of our blessed Saviour,
that enables the expiring chris--tian
to say with perfect trust,
Yea, tho.' I walk through
the
of
dark valleV and shadow
death, I will fear no evil, for
i Thy rod and Thy staff they
comfort me."
"I honed that to-dnv T would
be free" were anions: the last
words of our aged friend. ' Her
soui seemed to crave to be free
; from that broken . and bruised
