Additional Comments:
Temperance Rushing married Cornelius Smart about 1816 in SC. She was born 
about 1795 in Beaufort District, St. Peters Parish, SC.

    "Died - On the 9th inst., at her residence, some six miles west of Troy, 
Pike County, Alabama, Tempy, or Temperance Smart, aged about 76 years, relict 
of the late Cornelious Smart, who died some time last year, a notice of whose 
death appeared in this paper
    This was the last surviving sister to the mother of the writer, and 
leaving only one of the old stock, a brother, Wm. C. Rushing, who reside in 
the same locality.
    Thus they fade away, as mist before the above until he shall make up his 
jewels. The old, the young, the middle-aged. None are free from the penalty of 
the law. All that is created must come to an end, all that are born must die. 
Happy are they who, like her of whom we write, shall be so fully ready for the 
summons when their Lord shall call." (E. W. B. Bayzer was the Editor and 
proprietor of The People's Banner, Wetumpka, Elmore Co., AL)  (1)
(1) The People's Banner, Wetumpka, Elmore Co., AL; Thursday, July 27th, 1876.
