Empire State 
Mrs. Ann E. A. Daniel

Died in the City of Griffin, Ga., on the 20th inst. of inflammation of the 
brain, Mrs. Ann E. A. Daniel, consort of. R. Daniel, Esq. and niece of Mrs. 
Sarah and Judge J. B. Reid, in the 21st year of her age.

In offering this tribute to the memory of this estimable Lady, the writer feels 
a degree of difference in portraying a character in which were so many amiable 
truths of Christian excellences.  But few I have ever known of her age, if any, 
who have afforded a better specimen of Christian gentleness and modesty, and 
who labored more devoutly in an unobtrusive way, to cultivate those graces 
which adorn the Christian character, than she did.  Raised and taught by pious 
parents, the great doctrines of the Holy Scriptures, she exemplified them in 
after years.  At the age of fifteen she embraced religion and joined the M. E. 
Church, and from that day to the time of her death it seemed to be her great 
concern to walk worthy of the high vocation where with she was called.  She was 
naturally gentle, modest, amiable, and retiring in her disposition, and it was 
only to know her to love her, and those who knew her best loved her most.  For 
several months before her death she was observed to become more interested to 
cultivate the picty of her heart, as if she felt impressed that he time on 
earth was short.  She seemed to have entered into the anti-chamber of heaven to 
put on the beautiful robe of righteousness that she might be a welcome guest at 
the heavenly feast.

In the death of this Christian lady, a vacuum has been made in the hearts of a 
wide circle of relative and friends, which will not be soon filled.  A husband 
has been deeply stricken, and sisters mourn the loss of one dear indeed to 
them; the church is deprived of a bright christian example; but their loss is 
her eternal gain, and they mourn not as those who have no hope.  She has gone 
to join her sainted parents in the general assembly and church of the first 
born, and we will not deplore thee, for Blessed are the dead who die in the 
Lord; yea saith the spirit, for they rest from their labors.  PASTOR
