OBITUARY FOR MRS. MARY JANIE JOHNSTON

Mrs. Mary Janie Johnston, daughter of J.H. and S.E. Brumbelow, was born in 
Randolph County, Alabama on July 2, 1852 and died Feb. 15, 1897.  On June 14, 
1866 she was married to W.B. Johnston by which they were blessed with fourteen 
children, of whom twelve still survive.  

She was a member of the M.E. Church, South, a humble christian. As a wife she 
was true, as a mother, gentle, loving. She was indeed the light of the home.

Her sufferings were long but borne with patience. Truly did she realize 
that "they were but a moment" and by faith in god would work out for her "an 
eternal weight of glory". She died the death of a christian. In her last 
moments she talked freely of her future prospects. There was not a cloud to 
cast a shadow over her way. Her earnest request was for husband and children 
to meet her in heaven. May god's blessings rest upon the bereaved husband. May 
the christian life and peaceful death of his loved one be a means of pointing 
him to a home, prepared for the saints, through the lord.  May the 
children "press toward the mark for the prize" until one day they shall join 
mother as an unbroken family where there is no parting.  Geo. T. Harris, 
Wedowee, Ala., Feb. 26, 1897
