In Memoriam

McDonald – Miss Hattie McDonald, daughter of John and Mary McDonald, was born
near Post Oak church, Dale County, Ala., April 14, 1848; and died at the home
where she was born, April 12, 1885, aged thirty-seven years and one day.

From childhood to womanhood her health was delicate; yet she was always tender
and sweet-spirited.  Her character was pure and solid.  In her childhood she was
religiously inclined.  During her fifteenth year she made profession of faith in
Christ and joined the Methodist E. Church, South at Post Oak and lived in its
fellowship until called to the “church above.”  Hattie was a devoted daughter,
affectionate sister and loving friend.  These bright qualities of mind and heart
were intensified by the death of her noble father in her tender childhood, and
the fostering care of a mother whose love was increased in richness and fullness
by the many sorrows she endured in losing loved ones.  She lost a good son in
the late war.  During her sickness Miss Hattie realized bright manifestations of
God’s tender mercy.  The night before she died she became so happy that she
shouted, “I have a home in glory.  My home is over Jordan.  Hallelujah,
hallelujah.  I am ready, willing and waiting.”  She gave directions about
dressing her for burial.  Gently she passed from earth to heaven at half-past 8
o’clock Sunday night, April 12, and was buried at Post Oak, Monday evening near
her father and sister Margaret, to await the resurrection of the dead.
