Driver Departed this life on Friday morning, the 4th instant, about 6 o’clock after a protracted illness of nine months, at the residence of her father, Giles Driver, Esq., of Pike County, Miss Rebecca S.Driver, aged 20 years and 6 months. During her illness, which was truly sore, she manifested a firm reliance on her Creator and bore her affliction with meekness, Christian fortitude and resignation; and in her last moment so long as she could give attendance, expressed in the strongest term; her willingness to surrender this mortality, in full assurance of a blissful immortality beyond the grave. She was an exemplary member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for five or six years and in all her walks was an admired and acceptable member and amiable lady. She has gone to the rest that awaits the finally faithful. This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
