– MANILAH JANE (BOLIN) HUGHES
She is not dead but sleepeth.  The lovely daughter of R. D. Bolin and Nancy E. 
Bolin, Manilah Jane Hughes, the wife of Thomas Hughes, departed this life at 
11 o’clock Monday July 28th, 1879, age 30 years.  A dutiful daughter, kind 
wife and tender mother of 5 children.  She was sick 9 days.  She professed 
religion in 1867, and lived a strict member of the M. E. Church until her 
death.  She often said during her illness she would never get well, and prayed 
often to be spared to raise her little babes, if it was the will of the Lord, 
if not his will be done.  On Sunday morning being very low, she often asked 
her nurse, friends, and neighbors to let her talk to them, they first refused 
her, she said if she was going to get well it would not hurt her, if she was 
going to die it would do her good to talk; O let me talk, ma, will you meet in 
Heaven?  I will sweet child; that is sweet news to me.  She ten called her 
husband.  Will you meet me in Heaven?  I will.  She then sang some four songs 
of Zion, gave a sweet smile and went home.
	Her funeral, with her little daughter’s will be preached by Rev. E. F. 
S. Roberts, at Bethel Church, on the 4th Sabbath in August.  R. D. B. – July 
30th, 1879
