Middle Ga Argus
 Annie Briton

Mrs. Annie Briton, 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 23,1889, 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 lived a faithful and 
consistent communicant till the day of her death.  During the long period of 
her last illness, not withstanding 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.
