Middle Ga. Argus - September 1889

Obituary of Annie Britton


Mrs. Annie Britton in whose memory these lines are written was the daughter of 
Mr. James Rowland who stills survive her.  She was born September 19,1843 and 
was married at Indian Springs, Georgia, to Mr. James P. Britton, on October 
5th, 1865.  She died of that dread destroyer, consumption, on January, 23rd 
1889, age 45 years 3 months and 9 days, surrounded by her entire family and 
many loving friends, in the full triumph of the Christian faith.  At the early 
age of fifteen she connected herself with the Baptist church and ever lived a 
faithful and consistent communicant till the day of her death.  During the long 
period of the last illness, notwithstanding her sufferings were intense, she 
would never murmur, but always bore her pains with Christian patience, and her 
prayer was always, “Not my will but thine O Lord be done.”

During her life she was ever faithful in the discharge of all her Christian 
duties, and was seldom absent from public worship, when her health would permit 
her attendance.  The church and community are bereaved, but are comforted with 
the blessed assurance that their loss is her eternal gain.  She is not dead, 
but asleep in Jesus.
