Obituaries.

Departed this life on 22nd of April 1879 Mrs. Rachael Susan McLendon, consort 
of Bro. John A. McLendon, at the old homestead in Laurens county, Ga. in the 
32nd year of her age.

Her many virtues, combined wih a sweetness of disposition, and evennessof 
temper won her a large number ofdevoted friends.  "None knew her but to love 
her," has been the testimony of all her acuaintances since her death.  She in 
early life gave herself to the Savior, whom she loved and served for the past 
sixteen years as a member of Blue Water Church.  Her funeral was preached in 
the church at dublin on Wednesday, 23rd, by Rev. W. S. Ramsey her former 
pastor and friend.  A large concourse was present to mingle their tears in 
sympathy with the bereaved ones whom she has left.  Her remains were tenderly 
laid in the grave by loving hands amist sobs to await the morning of the 
resurrection.  she leaves an affectionate husband and childen, the youngest 
quite an infant, whom we tender to the sympathy of Him who alone can comfort, 
and who has never sent the mourner away empty.

But we sorrow not for her, our sorrow is foor those whom she has left.  Her 
husband, her aged mother, her tender little children and her remaining 
sisters.  We feel assured that He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb will 
not forget them and that in due time they be enabled to say: "Blessed be the 
name of the Lord, He doeth all things well."  It seems fitting to bury her in 
the glad spring-time amid perfume of flowers and song of birds to remind us 
that she is happy --that for her the bitterness of death  in past, that trial 
and pain and sorrow are henceforth eternal strangers to her.  It seemed 
fitting that her spirit should wing its flight from the dear old home here she 
was born, where her father died, where she gave herself in marriage, where the 
little ones left so lonesome, may be reminded of their loss aher gain so 
constantly.  We would meet our loved one in tht far away home of the blest and 
with her rejoice forever.  We would all like her sleep in Jesus when called 
away from earth.  May our desires be realized 

Additional Comments:
