Obituaries

We know that we cannot do or say anything that would benefif the dead – but we
wish to say a few words in memory of Mrs. Sallie Poyner, lately deceased.  We
wish to say a few words of condolence and sympathy, if no more, to the bereaved
family.

If there is any family that should receive our warmest sympathies, it is Mr.
John Poyner’s.  (He but having one whole arm.)  Three months and one day before
the death of Mrs. Poyner, little Charley Poyner, who for some time had been
insane, died.  He left a father, a sister, a mother – who for ten or twelve
years had been so afflicted with scrofula as to be unable to walk – and
relatives to mourn his death.  (Those who have lost a son or daughter know how
to sympathise.)  But now their griefs and sorrows are still greater.  Mrs.
Poyner, though afflicted for a long time bore her afflictions with the greatest
of patience and loving faith.  She, no doubt, had for a long time believed and
perhaps realized that, “all things work together for good to those that love
God.”  During her afflictions, she always appeared to be lively, cheerful and
goodnatured.  And at the same time, few, perhaps none, know or realize the
extent of her troubles – her sufferings.  She was born at Newton, Ala. May 1st,
1844.  She joined the Missionary Baptist church in early life and has ever since
lived a devoted Christian.  She died at her home 3 ¾ miles east of Newton
January 13th, 1885.

May her Christian walk and Godly conversations ever prove a blessing to those
with whom she came in contact.  She is no more, but her blessed influence for
good, yet widens and deepens.  Let us ever remember that, though our troubles
and sorrows are many.  God’s grace is sufficient to bear them.  And let us ever
strive to meet our loved ones who have gone before in that happy beyond, where
parting is no more; and where we can gather around that great White Throne of
God and sing his praises evermore.
