March 9, 1824 Departed this life on Sunday, about 1 o'clk P.M., the 29 Feb. Mrs. Ann Scott, consort of Joseph Scott, of Jasper Co., in the 54th year of her age. In her decease, society has lost a useful member and the Methodist Church a christian of purest practical piety of 30 (or 36 ?) years standing. She was distinguished by the mildness of her disposition and benevolence was a feeling perfectly natural to her. Ever faithful in the discharge of her duties as a parent, a friend, and a Christian. She could not be otherwise than _______ewed and beloved by all her numerous acquiantances. She has left several discon___in_e children to deplore her death and they have reason to sorrow for it, for is has bereft them of a ________ing the greatest and a tie the most _________able. But while we sympathize with her family and mourn with them so affecting a despensation of a wise and a just providence, we would offer to their distressed and agitated bossoms the conseitory reflection, that she has only left this world of pain and trouble for one that is purer and righter. Where grief and distress are never known-. "There whe wicked _______se from troubling, and the weary be at rest". Found on microfilm in library in Macon, Ga.
