Departed this life, in the city Of Jackson.
February 26th 1876, in the seventeenth
year OF her age, MARY TURNER MITCHELL,
eldest child OF DR.. Thomas J. and Mrs.
Anna Mitchell.
Il does not often happen that the sympa-
thies of an entire community are 50 deeply
enlisted for a family in athletic in the ease
of this bereaved household Indeed, so wide
" was she known, and So teuderly beloved,
nat we all claimed her as our own. There
was not a day during her lingering Illness.
in which >he was not surrounded with
manifold tokens OF attectionate remember
ance from every quarter. Her beau ifuI
haracter, her gentle lOveliness seemed
win ALI hearts. Guilei@SsneSs, simplicity.
purity and decOrum market her every word
and action Peculiarly rema kable for her
consideration for Others, there was about
her Uniform Kin lness and perfect courtesy
that never lied, even in extreme suffering.
1t is, however, as a Chris ian as one who,
though young in years. had attained To
singular ''ripeneSS of age" in Christ, that
we delight To think OF our dear MARY, and
to thank God fof her good example. From
her earliest childhood she had been blessed
with careful Christian training, and had
taken the precepts of Gods word As the
guide of her feet. she thoroughly enjoyed
her religious privileges. She was never
voluntarily absent from her class i'm the Sun
day school, or her place in the house OF God.
Renewing at a tender age her bastismaI
vows, she became a faithful, consistent COM
municant Of the church, and in her holy
and happy walk with God, the promise was
abundantiy fulfilled -''They that seek Me
early shall find Me-
When the hand of sickness was laid upon
her, she met it not only with calmness and
submission. but even with expressions of
cheerful thank tulness. When counting up
her mercies on Thanksgiving day, she closed
the long catalogue, saying. "and | thank
Him, most of all. for my sickness" She had
long fit that God was her Father, aud
Heaven was her home, and as one day of
weakness and suffering followed another
she realized that she was approaching. step
by step. the mansions Of her Fathers house.
At first she was - in a strait betWiXt two"
having desire to depart and be with
Christ, and yet not knowing how to leave
those who were so inexpressibly dear TO
her loving heart. But as this strong love
for them yielded 70 an even stronger love
for her dear Lord, she ielt it was FAR better
Tor her TO go to Him. Her perfect conf
denee III her Savior, robbed the grave of its
terrors, and she went down into the dark
valley with a brave heart as ever beat in
saint or martyr For her, death was abOl- |
ished; and with mingled payers aud !
praises upon her lips, and with smile Of
peace and 10Y ap0H her closing eyes, she /
ended her sweet life on earth, to begin an
immortality Of blessedness in Gods heay- |
