Additional Comments: "Dear Brother Graves: It becomes my painful duty to record the death of my beloved wife Amelia Howard (Mrs. Amelia Howard Brockman Mullins) which occurred on the 31st of March at 11 o'clock p.m. from an attack of paralysis in her sixty seventh year. She left a disconsolate husband and eight children beside many grandchildren to mourn her loss. but my dear brother, we mourn not as one having no hope. While I pen these few lines with a nervous hand I have the assurance that her mortal spirit is basking in the Paradise of God where troubles and trials never reach her and I also have the assurance that ere long we shall be reunited in that blessed world of spirits where our happiness will be complete. The subject of this notice was born in Greene County, Georgia, the 22nd of June 1813, and became my wife December 9, 1830, was baptized by Elder Thomas H Murphy in the fellowship of the Baptist Church at Botsford, Sumpter County, Georgia, 1847, moved to Pike County Alabama 1849 and during 1850 attached herself to the church at this place. Being separated from her relatives for a number of years and not being in correspondence with many of them, I desire to give some names so that they may more readily call her to mind. She was the daughter of Bledsoe and Elizabeth Brockman and granddaughter of *Colonel Thomas Landrum of Oglethorpe County, Georgia and first cousin of Sylvanus Landrum late of Memphis and now of Savannah.
