The Christian Advocate, September 5, 1851
Died, the 1st of July, [1851], in Troup co., [Georgia], near West Point, Mrs. 
ELIZABETH C. BLYTHE, wife of Leroy Blythe, and daughter of J. and B. [Jonathan 
and Bethany] Ward, in the 36th year of her age.  She was the child of praying 
parents; joined the M. E. C. in her 13th year, and was faithful to the end of 
life.  It was her lot to be afflicted many years, but she endured "as seeing 
him who is invisible."  She bore her last illness with Christian composure and 
submission.  The announcement that her end was near did not alarm her.  She was 
willing to die, although she regretted to leave her husband and children.  When 
Father Simmons spoke to her of her future prospects, she expressed a desire "to 
depart and be with Christ."  Her infant followed her immediately to the happy 
Land.  She leaves behind a mourning husband, weeping children, many dear 
relatives and friends.
