Ebenezer Baptist Church minutes, June 9, 1900
In memory of Sister Mariah Allen who departed this life Jan. 13, 1900.  Mrs. 
Mariah Allen, wife of William A. Allen and daughter of Joseph & Mariah Cook, 
was born in Baldwin Co., Ga., Oct. 15, 1818, married in her 18th year, joined 
the Ebenezer Baptist church soon thereafter, was a bright and shining light 
for her Master for 64 years.  Was instigate in season and out, doing what she 
could for the advancement of Christ kingdom upon the earth and giving of her 
means for the support of the ministry & church, thus setting an example for 
the younger sisters.  Sister Allen was left a widow with four little children 
early in life to combat the world with its responsibilities.  She met then 
with Christ-like endurance ever relying upon His promises to be a husband to 
the wife and father to the orphan.  She raised her children to be God loving, 
God fearing chgristians.  They are all members of the church.  Sister Allen’s 
long Christian life leads us to think that she fought the good fight of faith, 
and has gone home to be with Christ, where there will be no more parting, no 
more sorrowing, no tears nor death.  Sister Allen has not lived in vain.  If 
we will but be followers of her as she was of the Master.
Bro. A.M. Caskey, Bro. R.M. Rainey & Sister C.B. Womack, committee
