The LaFayette Sun April 29, 1896

In Memoriam.
	Mrs. Amanda C. Davis, was born in Harris County, Ga., April 12, 1834 
and died at her daughters, Mrs. W. H. Wilson, Chapel Hill, Ala., April 18, 
1896, aged 62 years. She joined the Missionary Baptist Church at the age of 
fifteen and was ever after a consistent member, observing the rules of the 
church in all times and was a noble worker in Sabbath School. She made the 
Bible her daily study.
	She was the subject of severe suffering for more than a year previous 
to her death, which she endured with much presence and fortitude, especially 
for one who had been afflicted so long. During her illness she frequently 
asked the writer to pray for her, that she might be given grace and patience to 
bear her afflictions to the end.
	She seemed willing and anxious to go and be with her Savior. She had no 
fear of death, but spoke of it with great calmness and resignation. Her friends 
and relatives find much comfort in the assurance of her happier and more 
holy state. We would not call her back from her happy repose and subject her to 
earth’s trials and sufferings. Rather let us ever view her there as an 
additional motive to seek that rest which remains for the people of God. She 
was a devoted wife and mother. She left a husband and five children to mourn 
her loss; lost to them but her eternal gain, blessed thought. Let me say to 
them to ever cherish her memory and labor to meet her in blissful home where 
all her sufferings are ended.
	Written by one who has known and loved her for years.    L.B.D.
