OBITUARY.

Died, on the l+th January, 1864, Of Phneu-
monia, MARY NopLEY, consort Of Caswell Mob.
ley, dec'd1in the 69th year of her age. She
had been for several years In very feeble health
At'the time of her death she WAS living with a
son, in charge Of his motherlcss children, while
he had taken up arms in the defence Of our
country. Her disposition was such, that it was
always pleasure to her to accommodate and
make comfortable those around her, as far az
she was able Long shall we remember that
motherly care and protection which she ever
exercised over her children.
She was n member OF the Methodist Church
aud had been for the last ls years. Being in.
firm for the greater portion of the time, she
was deprived oi the privilege Of attending the
ministerial services OF the church. | was blessed
with che privilege Of being with her in her last
illness; all was done that could be, to eradicate
the disease, but all was unavsiling ueithep
medical skill, nor constant aud unweried watch.
ing by her friends, could arr.s. the disease. In
the all wise dspensttion Of providence she was
TO die. and she seemed to be sensible of that
fact, and resigned to the will of God She
quietly passed away, leaving every assurance
To her friends, that she exchanged a HE OF toll
aud trouble, for one of JOY and peace.
