The Pike County Journal. Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, July 16, 1897

Resolutions of Respect

Passed on the Death of Mrs. Mary E. Mathews by the Baptist Church in Conference 
July 10, 1897

Mrs. Mary E. Mathews, nee Brooks, was born Dec. 22nd 1846 in Pike county. Ga. 
She joined the Baptist church at Hebron in 1863. She was married to Dr. J.B. 
Mathews August 31st, 1865. She died in her home in Zebulon, Ga., June 5, 1897.

Whereas, in the inscrutable providence of our Divine Head, our esteemed sister 
has been removed from the Church militant to the Church Triumphant, and whereas 
her gain is our loss,

Therefore, be it resolved, by the Zebulon Baptist church in conference,

1st. That in the death of our beloved sister, the church has lost a faithful 
and consecrated member, a meek and gentle follower of our Lord, a true friend 
to the cause of righteousness and a humble and pious Christian.

2nd. That we heartily sympathize with our bereaved brother and his motherless 
children in their irreparable loss of wife and mother.

3rd. That though our hearts are sad and we deeply feel our loss, we bow in 
humble submission to the will of our heavenly father, knowing that he doeth all 
things well.

4th. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minute book of the 
church, a copy be furnished to the bereaved family of our sister, and the 
Christian Index and Pike County Journal for publication.

Done by order of the church in conference July 10, 1897.
