We copy the following obituary from the New
Orleans Christian Advocate. The subject of it
was the wife of Mr.. John H. McCue, jr., son OF
Judge J. H. McCue, OF this city:
LIZZIE S. COLLINS, wife If John H. McCue, Esq,
of Mayersville, Issaquena CO., MISS and daugh-
ter Of William and Mary Collins, was born at Lake
Providence, La, December "a, 1851 and died, OF
pneumonia, at her home, in Mayersville, Februa-
ry 6. 1870.
to God by pions mother, in holy baptism, and
reared from infancy in the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. She was formally admitted into
the Church when quite child, by Rev. r. j.
Harp. at Lake Providence, La. She was the mod
ell of every womany grace and virtue. The light
of every circle, in which she moved, the comfort
and Joy Of an aged mothers heart for past years,
being the youngest surviving child. She was mar
ried April I'd. 1878. to Mr.. John H McCue. / saw
her then amid a happy throng in bridal robes o.
spotless white and performed the solemn rites OF
marriage. In less than IL months stood beside
her bier, saw her cold in death, dressed in the
same beautiful virtue to meet the Bridegroom in
heaven. She had given birth to sweet little boy
had her babe baptized and gave him the name OF
his father. The immediate cause Of her death
was pneumonia. She fingered for two weeks
when death came ana called her to spend an eter-
nal Sabbath in heaven. For two or three months
before her death she had the impression that her
days on earth were few, and she gave herself with
special earnestness to the work of preparation
AS her PASTOR had frequent interviews and some
precious seasons Of prayer with her. She was full
ly assured of her acceptance with God, and died
as an infant falling asleep lin the arms Of Jesus.
1t is needless to repeat the many expressions OF
Joyful hope in Christ which she gave in her last
moments. BLESSED Jesus, precious Saviour
| were among her very last utterances.
