IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. ELIZA DUNN

Departed this life on the 20th inst., Mrs. Eliza Dunn, wife of Mr. Josee Dunn. 
The deceased was in the 55th year of her age when called to bid 
adieu to her pleasant home and loving family, but her faith in Jesus enabled 
her to pass through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil, 
realizing in that dread hour that his grace is sufficient and her words of 
confidence and trust in Jesus will long be remembered by those who attended 
her during the five weeks of her affliction.

She had for many years enjoyed hope in Christ, but made no public profession 
of her faith till the year 1874 when she united with the Baptist church at 
Hollanville in Pike county, Ga., since which time she has remained a constant 
member of the church.

In December 1881 she moved with her husband and family to his county and soon 
after united with the Baptist church at Bethesda. Although she had been so 
short a time in this community, she had by her meek and gentle manner, gained 
a large circle of friends who share the deep sorrow of the bereaved husband 
and family, and would commend them to the mercy and love of God, and to the 
comfort of his word. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord." W.W.R.
