MementO Mort.

DIED, at the residence OF her son-n-la law,
B. ID. Harrison, Esq, June Ilth, IS7s, Mrs.
MARY ID. PUCKE1'TE, wife of George w.
Price, aged SIS years, months and Il days.
The subject of this notice WAS born in
Claiborne county, Mississippi, August oath,
lse2. At very early age-Oct ~, ISL
she entered into the marriage state with |
Bro. Price, in whose heart she ever reigned |
supreme among mortals, and in whose home |
she was ever the same faithful, affectionate |
and dutiful wife.
What her early religious advantages and
training may have been, the writer is not
informed; but it appears that she kept her
self on the worldly side Of the great qucs-
ton of religious duty till 1854, at which
time she became member Of the Netho-
dist Episcopal Church, South. Her CONVEX
sion was satisfactory TO her conscience, her
assurances clear, and her aftcr-life consist
ent and exemplary; Her temperament,
though somewhat phlcgmatic, was, never
theiess, sometimes completely brought I'M
der the control of religious fervor. Her
life has been spent on the smooth, quiet
waters of domestic pleasure, marrcd only
| by such scenes as may arise in the life of
every mother. OF ten children three were
taken from earth before her-thc others
! live TO mourn her death, as shc mourned
the death of those who are gone.
|
The manner of her death was exceedingly
TRYING to her family, and not less so to her
self; but in all, her Lord, in whom she
trusted, brought her safely to the shore
Having left her home on Sunday TO visit
her daughters and some friends i'll Homer
she was taken suddenly i'll on Monday and
died on the following day.
Suddenly and unexpectedly as the sum
mons came, it found her ready to testify u
the truth, power and blesscdncss of the re
ligion of the Bible. Not having been pre-
viously notified of her near approach to thu
"ratcs of death" her husband told her that
he feared she was dying, and asked If there
was anything she desired to say before sh'
left them. Her answer was in unmistaxa
bic words: yes" she said "trusting ~
Jesus, alrays" What a great truth thi
dying testimony confirms: They that trus
in the Lord shall never I've put to confusion.
Thus lived, and thus died, quiet, pnr
and noble woman. HER PASTOR.
