Mrs. J.M. Sullivan Dead

Mrs. J.M. Sullivan died at her home here at 12:30 o'clock last Tuesday
morning after an illness protracted for about three years. Her death
removes from our town one of its oldest and best women. She was born in
Wilkes county, Ga., January 28, 1821. Her maiden name was Miss Allie
Huguley. She was married to Mr. Sullivan April 10, 1843, joined the
Primitive Baptist church at Enon, Meriwether county and was baptized by
Eld. T.T. Trice in 1848. Since that time Mrs. Sullivan has been, by
precept and example, a teacher of the principals of the Christian
religion. Ever true to her fellow creatures, her church and her God.

It was her lot to see nine children attain their majority, of whom seven
are yet alive, all of them whom were around her bed to minister, when
death came, to her wants. They are all useful citizens in the
communities in which they live and may be mentioned by name, to wit:
J.M., T.T., C.W., S.A., and J.S. Sullivan, Mrs. G.A. Smith and Mrs. E.H.
Baker.

The funeral was preached at the Baptist church by Eld. Wyatt Childs. It
was a strong and touching discourse, listened to by a very large
audience of relatives and friends. By direction of Mrs. Sullivan, only
one song was sung, No. 382, Primitive Hymns.

The remains were placed beside the grave of her mother, Mrs. Susannah
Huguley.

Mr. Sullivan, the husband and father, survives and holds a warm place in
the affections of the people of this community. The Journal tenders to
the bereaved family its sympathy in the loss of one whose name is as
near and dear to them as the ruddy [?] about their own hearts.
