The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1892-09-15
Obituary,

Mithell, departed this life at Youngsville,
n. e., August 9th, 1892, in the Dist
year of her age. For some time she had
complained of not feeling well, but not
| until she was forced to yield to typhoid
fever did we feel any anxiety about her.
During the few weeks she was confined to
her bed she was quiet and patient, and
SO peaceful and happy, that when the
end came we felt that she had gone to be
with God
For three years she had been consist
ent and devoted member of the Baptist
church, and her daily walk proved that
she was trying to follow in the footsteps
of her Savior. She was kind to all, will
| ing and ready to help those who needed
help, and always had u smile for every
| one she met. We all loved Mary. and
those who knew her best loved her most
She has not ceased to communicate with
| us, though the visible chain is broken.
From that bright sphere, from that
calm region, from the bowers of the life
| immortal, she speaks to us. For her
the storms of the pilgrimage are hushed
| to silence, fierce tempests cease to blow
all is blessed sunshine, calm and sweet
| repose, there in her Home above We
| feel desolate and our hearts are full and
| overlooking with grief, but we know our
| loss is her gain.
| "There is no death The stars go down
TO rise upon some fairer shore,
| And bright in heavens jeweled crown
| They shine forever more.
| There is no death! The leaves may fall,
| The flowers may fade and pass away,
| They only wait through wintry hours
| For coming of the Nay.
The bird like voice whose joyous notes
| Made glad these scenes of sin and strife
| Sings now an everlasting song
| Amid the trees of Life.
And ever near US though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundleSS universe
| Is life-there are no dead
