Mrs. MIDDLETON was a daughter of JOHN STEWART, deceased, of Fayette County, Ala. was born Dec. 1, 1825. She embraced the Christian religion and was baptized by Rev. H. W. MIDDLETON in the year 1847. Since that time she has lived a consistent member of the Missionary Baptist Church proving by her daily walk and life the glorious realities of the faith she professed. Though her sickness was long and painful she bore it patiently, asserting her confidence in the crucified and risen Savior who was with her as she passed through the deep waters. In her domestic life she was all gentleness and devotion, a loving wife, and affectionate mother, a true friend, and a kind obliging neighbor. The deepest sympathy is felt for the bereaved husband and children of the deceased. May the relatives and numerous friends, in this sad hour of bitterness, seek relief from Him whom she served so long and loved so well, who alone can furnish the balm to heal the wounded heart. “Weep not when ye tell the story of the dead “’Tis a sun-beam joined the glory Overheard!” [N.] File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/al/lamar/obits/m/middleto1335gob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/alfiles/ File size: 1.8 Kb
