She was a sufferer from consumption for quite a while. She was about fifty years of age and was a consistent Christian, a member of the Baptist Church. She leaves a husband and several children and many friends to mourn her loss. She was laid to rest Thursday afternoon in the Robinson Cemetery, Rev. Pitts conducting the funeral service. We sympathize with the bereaved ones in their sad loss. ---------------------------------------------- Rebecca (ca 1850--1901) married James Mathew Couch (1850 Aug 06 GA --1906 Dec 25), a minister, buried Fidele Cem, Gordon Co GA.
