DrrARTEn this life, in this District, the evening
of the 18th Instant Mrs. HENRIETTA i. GUMIL.
LION, consort to Mr.. Jesse Gomillion in the 26tL
year of her age.
Spontaneous and deep is the grief that follows the
departure Of eary stricken down in life, and
around whom clustered omany ties Of friendship and
love.
Modest and unassumns in department, devoted and
faithful wife-sincere n christian, ardent and
generous as friend and neighbor, she was unirer-
sally admired and respected by all who formed her
acquaintance.
In the 18th year Of her age she made public pro-
fessi0n Of faith in Christ and united to the Noun
tain Creek Church, subsequently became member at
Old Red Bank, then ut Dry Creek where she lived a
consistent and most exemplary member, "adorning
the dsctrne Of the gospel by well ordered walk and
Cody conversation"
She experienced in high degree, tho consultations
of religion during hor last illness, and frequently ex-
pressed desire to depart and be with Christ and her
little bahe, which had "gonc before"
The God who cheercd her in life and health, also
sustained her undcr her many trials and Affections,
and in the hour Of final dissolution. Thus lenning
the strength of the blessed Redecmer, she quietly fell
asleep, yielding up her happy spirit to the God who
gavc it.
How beautiful, then, is the deathbsd of the chris
tan Tho grave is looked forward to as the resting
place of night and death is regarded Us but the en-
trance to etorna bliss. An aectionats husband and
large circle of relations and friends arc left to
mourn this irreparabe dspcnsation.
"Thoy die in Jesus and are blest,
How sweet their slumbers are,
From suifcrings and from sins releas'd,
And freed from every snare"
