Daniel who has been dangerously ill for several days, is better at this present writing, Wednesday. ---- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MARCH 1, 1878 DEATH OF MRS. A.J. DANIEL We regret to announce the death of Mrs. A.J. Daniel, which took place at the residence of her husband in this city, on last Monday at 2 a.m. She had been sick for some time and her death was not unexpected. She was buried on Monday evening. Mrs. Daniel had been living a long time in this community and was held in high esteem. She was perfectly resigned to death and expressed her willingness to go, if it was the will of the great "I Am". We are told by those who were present that her death was a triumphant one, that she died only as the Christian can die, trusting and believing in the power of our Lord and Savior. She leaves behind a husband and interesting family of children, to whom we extend our sympathies in their great bereavement. --- NEWSPAPER Issue of MAY 10, 1878 IN MEMORY OF MRS. DANIEL Mrs. Louisa Ellen Daniel, daughter of the late Josiah and Mrs. Elizabeth Wise of Coweta county, Georgia, was born on the 4th day of August 1836. Married to Andrew J. Daniel on the 10th day of February 1853 and died to live again, on the morning of February 25th 1878 at her home in Carrollton, Georgia. Mrs. Daniel possessed a vigor of intellect and force of character, which under proper culture, would have fitted her, in no ordinary degree, for the higher walks of life. Impelled by her great will and untiring energy, whatsoever her hands found to do, in the varied relations of her position, she did with her might. Her kindness of heart and unceasing devotion to the comfort and happiness of her household, enshrine her memory in their affections and made of her, while in life, all that wife and mother should be. The business of her husband (hotel and house keeping) brought her in contact with almost all classes of men, before whom, she ever demeaned herself with dignity and grace and won the esteem of all. During the dark days of the late war, while the army of Tennessee, after the bloody field of Shiloh, paused bleeding and stricken upon the plains of Corinth, she braved the then perils of travel between her home in Bowdon, Georgia and the gloomy camps of the soldiery in Mississippi, and as an angel of mercy, stood by the languishing couch of her stricken husband, and through her timely ministrations, his life was preserved and he was restored to health and home. Mrs. Daniel was a christian, a purer purpose has seldom actuated a kinder, better heart; this she gave back to the Great Giver, first in the M.P., and then in the M.E. church, South, of which she lived for years, a worthy and useful member, and in the bosom of which she died, as only the good can die. She had been in failing health some two years, during which time she had suffered much, often intensely, but always exhibiting the fortitude and meekness of one under the chastening rod of Him, who is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. Admonished by the character of her sickness that death was near, and that she might be called away suddenly, she set her house in order, and stood waiting for the summons, often expressing as her only regret, separation from her family, at a time when her five children, four of whom are daughters, so much needed her presence and counsels. And so when the Master at last beckoned and she neared the final struggle, the last of earth, having given definite instructions as to everything relating to her burial, assigning to each a special duty, and leaving with her family her last benediction, with the utmost composure, called for the singing of the hymn commencing "Oh, sing to me of heaven when I am called to die", and calling upon her physician, a godly man, to unite once more with her in prayer, she fell asleep, and now her friends think of her awakened to immortality b the song they sing in the purer, better land. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." J.M.G.
