MARY CHANDLER Departed this life on the 12th inst., Mrs. Mary Chandler, born Dec. 22, 1805 and had completed nearly seventy-five years of pilmigrage on earth, when God was pleased to call her spirit home. At the age of sixteen she unted with the Baptist church at Poplar Springs, Franklin county, Ga. In 1829 she was married to Thos. Chandler, Esq., and with her husband soon after came to Carroll county, which for more than fifty years has been their cherished home. Soon after removing to this county she united with the Baptist church at Concord, where she remained a constant member until her death. In her home she was known by all as a worthy example of industry and economy, a kind and obliging neighbor, a devoted wife and a tender and affectionate mother. During her affliction which was long and serious, she would frequently speak of her willingness to submit to the will of God, in whom she trusted. The bereaved husband and family of the deceased have the sympathy of many friends and prayers of Christian hearts, that hope through this veil of tears that the loved ones may meet again where parting is unknown, there to realize the precious promise of Jesus, that "where I am there ye may be also." W.W.R., Carrollton, Sept. 14, 1880 ---- Mrs. Mary Chandler who died Sunday was buried Monday at the new cemetery. The funeral services were conducted in the M.E. church by the Rev. W.W. Roop.
