IN MEMORIAM.

Died, at her residence in this place,
on the 30th of January, in the 70th year
OF her age, Mrs MARTHA A. GoRMAN,
ceased, of Macon, Georgia.
A shining exemplar of the life of a
christian woman and a mothers devo-
ion to her family has passed away. A
true daughter of Zion has fulfilled her
mission on this earth, and the pale
hand of death has gathered to rest one
who indeed performed her part nobly
in this life. Those only who intimately
knew the deceased can testify how true
the above is. Love to her family was a
predominant trait; love to her neigh
bers was genuine and true; charity to
all was enshrined in her heart, and the
acts of her life were holy and pure.
The deceased was native of Talbot
county, Geo., and daughter of VIM.
A. SearcY, Esq. She was married
when quite young to DIR. Thos. B. Cor
man, native of Newberry District,
5. c., who finally settled in Macon,
Geo., and for many years pursued his
profession with usefulness and profit.
After the death of her husband, which
occurred in 1856. Mrs. GoRMAN devoted
herself with all the love OF mothers
fond devotion to her children. They
we're "the apple of her eye," and the
love of her existence.
When the storm clouds of the war
came a swept away 20 much of life
and property, she nobly stood by her
family and never murmured. After
ward she removed to Morristown, Ten
ne see, her home at the time of her
death. OF late years she complained
of general debility and weakness, but
in all her sickness, trials and trouble
land they were many she never MUIR
INJURED at Gods dispensations, but true
woman and christian, she put on
the armor of righteousness, placed her
trust implicitly in God and went with
all these Affections to the ''Great White
Throne where she laid her ontpour-
ng of love and submission.
She was a devout member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
and died in that faith. A few hours
before her death Rev Geo. W. Simpson.

OF Morristown, Tenn, was born Oct. 2,
1864, and departed this life Jan 1, 1884
The subject of this obituary " as the last
living child of five children OF DIR. j. E.
Robertson, the wife and mother having
preceded the last two children TO the
better county, leaving the sadly be-
reaved husband and father bereft of ev-
cry member of the once happy home.
his last sufferer was taken away by
that fatal disease consumpI ON. When
he realized that this terrible disease had
a fast hold upon his vitals, which was
year before his death, life's pleasures
TO him were gone. In mis- own language,
Il have not laughed heartily for year
Who can tell the depths of sadness that
must have filled his young heart thro'
all the days and nights OF this last year?
But its ali over now. Curtis was as NO.
BILE spirited young man as | ever knew;
independently self-poised, III the same
time afabie, genial and attractive; in
social life causing all with whom he as
ISOLATED to esteem him very highly. He
was strictly moral from childhood, new
er having engaged in those sins that
blacken, blast aud ruin the character of
SO many of the young men Of our land
ali of which we attribute TO the fact of
his having been trained by pious pa
rents. He won the respect and esteem
OF all by exemplifying in his walk the
good training received in the home lie.
Oh that all the professed christian pa
rents OF this country were as scrupu-
lousy careful and anxious about the
moral and religious character of their
children as were these. In the year 1876
he jJlned the Methodist Church, South,
as an earnest seeker of the great sal
vatlen." Never haYing made an open
profession up to the time of his sickness
and realizing that he must soon pass
away. he became deeply concerned
about his soul. 1t was my privilege to
visit him often during the last two
months of his affections, and OIL how
he did agoniZe with God in prayer for
The coveted blessing. He did not talk
or think of much else-"salvati0n" was
his cry day and night to the last. In
his own language: Brother Simpson,
l sleep but little anu pray to God all
night for mercy" Can such pleading
be disregarded by Heaven? No, no,
never. -Four days before his death he
said, Il will neither eat nor drink any
more till obtain religion" About one
hour before his death, after we all hau
prayed earnestly for the last time toge-
Lher, said to him, Curtis, do you be-
lieve that God is abe to save you p
Yes, said he. ''Do you believe that
since Jesus has died for you on the cross
he is willing to save you ?" Eyes"
Then don't you feel that you love
God 2" His reply was that he did, and
in very little while he was gone to
sleep, l trust in Jesus. How we do
So mpathize with the lonely, heart-brok-
en- father. May Gods grace be sufficient
for nim, and may the family at last be
undivided in Heaven. His Pa.tor.

To the Editor OF The Morristown Gazette:
see in this weeks GAZETTE an arti-
Gle concerning the mail route by Nee's
ferry, calling it the old stage road, and
ing the river at Noes ferry. This needs
correction. The first road opened thro'
the county was made by the Buffalo
Trace, from Cumberland Gap by Beans
Station to Buffalo Gap and Paint Rock,
and was a mail route upwards of fifty
years before there was ferry boat kept
at Noes ferry. As to distractions at

river is too high, and ice and drift are
floating, all ferries are obstructed. You
will please publish this and oblige,
