The Christian Index, Jan. 27, 1881
KENDRICK.-- Mrs. Ann Trussell Kendrick was born March 12, 1815; professed 
religion 1828; married Deacon Benj. Burks Kendrick July 10th, 1848; died at the 
residence of her son-in-law, Jos. Williams, near Talbotton, October 25th, 1880.

Sister Kendrick was one of those whose life leaves a sad yet cherished spot in 
our memory.  When we look back over our association with her in our church at 
Valley Grove, and remember her sweet Christian life, and how she loved the 
services of the Sanctuary, how much we could desire that others might arrive to 
take her place in our midst.  

As a step-mother she was greatly beloved, and strange would it have been if 
otherwise.  So kind and affectionate of heart, and so considerate and attentive 
in disposition.  She was an invalid for several months before her death, during 
which time she seemed to enjoy the visits  of her pastor, and regretted 
exceedingly that she could not engage in the services of the Sanctuary.  Her 
last end was peaceful and in the assurance of faith: a fit ending for her 
upright Christian life.  Earth has many trials and hardships, yet when we 
review the life of this mother in Israel, and see the love in which she was 
held by the church, the community, and a large family of children and grand-
children, we are constrained to belive that there is much in the Christian life 
that is beautiful and lovely which will go on in its ennobling effects for 
years to come.  How appropriate in her case are the words of 
Revelation, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth: yes, 
saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do 
follow them."
Pastor.
