Obituary:  Mariah Jane Cumming (1832-1864)

Repository: Wooford College, Spartanburg, SC.

  MRS. M.J. CUMMING, wife of E. Cumming, Esq.
and daughter of Ebenezer and M.C. Vinson was born
in Hancock Co., Ga., Feb 2d, 1832 and died of
consumption, at the residence of her mother,
hear Milledgeville, Ga., Apr 17th, 1864.
  Raised by pious parents, she was brought up
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord,
and her life showed that the labor thus bestowed
was not in vain.  She embraced religion and
joined the M.E. Church when about twelve years
old and continued a consistent member. Mar-
ried in 1855...............................
is located,...she goes to her rest in the grave,
while mourning friends with bleeding hearts go
about the streets.  A widowed mother recives
the heavy blow, a large...of devoted friends
attached to her by her amiable and kind man-
ners share in the general grief, while a devoted
husband and loving children are especially
smitten and bereaved.  Some time before her
death it was evident that the fatal disease
would claim her for its victim.  Although her
illness was protracted and severe, she for it
with becoming christian patience and pious
submission.  Never a word of complaint was 
heard to...her lips.  Not a fear disturbed
her heavenly calm, as she neared the shores of
the last river.  Not a cloud of doubt intervened
between her and her Saviour's smiling face and
her happy home in heaven.
