The Southern Star, January 28, 1885
Page 2

Mary Carmichael, wife of the Hon. Jesse M. Carmichael, was born in Muscogee 
County, Georgia, October 15, 1841.  While a girl she was brought to the 
State of Alabama, where she resided during the remainder of her life.  She 
joined the Methodist E. Church, South, at Sylvan Grove, Dale County, 1858; 
and was converted at the same place 1862.  From that period she lived the 
life of a devoted, earnest Christian woman, meeting all its duties and 
responsibilities with cheerfulness, courage and perseverance.  Her character 
was strong at all points, especially her supreme love of truthfulness and 
nice sense of justice.  In the family she was a wise counselor, a loving and 
devoted wife, a kind, indulgent, yet cautious mother.  She was married 
October 1st 1871, and became the mother of four children, three of whom 
sleep side by side near their mother.

She was sorely afflicted nearly twelve months of tumor.  During her 
protracted illness she was subjected to many ordeals of the most trying 
character, yet in all these she exhibited courage, fortitude, and 
cheerfulness which astonished her physician.  But at last her physical 
powers gave way, and the gentle, sweet spirit ascended the skies to the God 
who gave it.

This momentous event transpired at 1 o’clock a.m. January 24, 1885 in her 
lovely home in Ozark, Ala.  She leaves an almost heart-crushed husband, 
weeping mother, one tender precious little son, four affectionate step-
children, many other dear relatives, and countless friends to mourn her 
death.  At 1 o’clock Sunday afternoon a large assembly attended her funeral.  
The services in the church and at the grave were conducted by Rev. Angus 
Dowling.  She sleeps in Jesus to await the bright morning of the 
resurrection, when all shall come forth from the power of death.
