An Obituary

Mrs. Mary Ann Brewer O’Rear was born Oct 17th, 1825, and died at the home of 
her son Mr. J.B. O’Rear near Liberty Hill, Ga., Sept. 2nd, 1900.

Sister O’Rear professed religion at a tender age and united with the Methodist 
church. Her rarely beautiful lips was proof of the genuineness of her faith, 
and the depth of her consecration to God. True to duty in all the walks of 
life, she was no less prompt in obeying her religious convictions. The 
experience of faith she enjoyed was deep and full, and each day came to her 
with sweeter tokens of the Divine favor, a consciousness of pardoned sin, 
united with a quiet feeling of fellowship with God, gave to her religious 
character a sweetness and beauty which will ever be remembered by her loved 
ones and friends. She was not presumptuous but loving and gentle, meek and 
lowly in spirit, modest and kind in disposition and conduct. The principles of 
faith were deeply rooted in her heart, and by this every action of her life was 
regulated and controlled. She was a devoted mother, a faithful friend, a kind 
neighbor, a consistent Christian and adorned the walks of life by practice of 
those virtues which constitute a true noble Christian womanhood. During her 
last illness she was resigned and submissive. Not a murmur escaped her lips. In 
the quiet of the Sabbath evening her happy spirit passed beyond the "Shining 
Hills." The end was peace and her reward was a crown of joy and rejoicing in 
heaven. Her body was tenderly laid to rest beside her husband in the cemetery 
at Liberty Hill, Ga. The rich heritage of a lovely Christian character she 
leaves her sorrowing children.

God bless them in their grief. - G.W. Farr
