The deceased was an almost life-long christian and member of the M.E. church. Her unaffected piety and virtues won for her the affection and esteem of all and her death is universally regretted. She was full of philanthropy and her heart ever beat in sympathy with the suffering. Wherever sickness, sorrow or death were, Miss Eliza was to be found, to soothe the suffering and comfort the sorrowing. She was a true sister of charity in spirit. Relieved of pain here, she is now basking in the eternal sunshine of God's love, and for her sake, we rejoice that it is so. --- File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/calhoun/newspapers/newspape1098gnw.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 4.4 Kb
