Miss Charity Elizabeth Allen, daughter of Robert Allen, was born in Monroe 
County, Ga, Nov 12th. 1827, moved to Alabama when a young girl, and married I. 
H. McCrary in the year 1854. To this union was given six children, four boys and 
two girls, she was left a widow in the year 1869. She joined the Baptist church 
at the age of thirteen. For these seventy years she lived a devoted Christian. 
She was a great lover of her Bible and spent much time reading its blessed 
pages. She was one of the still, quiet Christians, her life every day alike; one 
of the ones the Savior had reference to when He said "Ye are the salt of the 
earth". After an illness of six days she departed this life Sept 30th, 1910 age 
82 years, 10 months, 18 days, leaving four children, J. R. McCrary, who, lived 
close enough that he and his wife could administer to her during her illness, Wm 
McCrary, whom she lived with and who cared for her so tenderly E. N. McCrary, 
who lives near Boaz, and Mrs. Mary Gillian, who was present to administer to her 
till the last.  These four children, a number of grand-children and a host of 
friends are left to mourn her death. Her body was interred in Flat Rock cemetery 
on Oct 1st the funeral services were conducted by the writer. Children, weep not 
for her as those who have no hope. She has gone forth to dwell in that mansion 
prepared by the Savior, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. 
Her pastor, B. W. Mathews
