The Vernon Clipper, Sept. 19, 1879
MRS. MARTHA L. MOLLOY, wife of WM. M. MOLLOY.  This estimable Christian lady we 
have every reason to believe has safely entered the rest that remaineth for the 
people of God.
	She was born September 16th, 1830, and died of cancer in the breast 
Sunday morning September 7th, 1879.
	Such is the simple chronicle of the dawn and close of a beautiful life 
which has lately passed beyond the sphere of time and to enter on the condition 
of immortality; a life beautiful because it had caught a radiance from the 
cross and had been steeped in the loveliness of the skies.  Her affections in 
early life, having taken conscious hold in God, her soul grew beneath His 
gentle discipline as naturally as the flower expands its graceful petals tot he 
warm wooing of the morning sun.
	Her life, and indeed her all, were placed as a willing and perpetual 
offering upon the alter of her home, so that both thought and effort ever bore 
testimony that self was lost sight of in securing the comfort of her household.
	In temperament she was mild and gentle, ever possessing that charity 
which “thinketh no evil” and “is not easily provoked,” while she blended with 
these such diligence and industry that she was never known to “eat the bread of 
idleness.”
	The memory of this good woman’s life will linger like a benediction in 
the community in which she resided, and the influence of her quiet, 
unostentatious Christian walk will remain a living testimony to the truth of 
Christ.  Although she suffered with the most excruciating pain, she bore it 
with fortitude, often praying to the good Lord to remove her to rest, for she 
knew her way was clear.
	She leaves four daughters, two sons, and a sorrowing husband to mourn 
her loss.
	While she drinks at the fountain, they drink at the streams.
	Soon they will strike hands upon the banks of sweet deliverance and 
united in ascribing praises to Him who washed them in His own blood.
	The heartfelt sympathies of the entire community are extended to the 
stricken family who have been called to pass through these deep waters of 
afflictions.  But, “It is a beautiful belief, that ever-round our head, Are 
hovering on noiseless wing, the Spirit of the dead.”
			R. W. B.
