Gassett, who departed this life at her home in Taylor County, Ga., on the 25th of January, 1883; aged 64 years, 5 months and 24 days. She was born in Pitt County, N.C., August 1st, 1818; was the daughter of George and Mary bland; joined the church at seventeen years of age; married Charles M. Gassett, date not known to the writer; settled in Taylor County, Ga., about the year 1846, and united with Prosperity Church by letter July 19th, 1851. Her husband dying not many years thereafter, she became sole manager and director of her family affairs, having six children in her charge and under her care, who are grown up and most of them married. Sister Gassett, though compelled to labor under many disadvantages in this life, gave great proof of her faith in Christ bt her regular attendance at appointed times of worship, never neglecting her monthly meetings without special cause. She was also careful to meet all her financial obligations without complaint or murmering at a widow's hard lot in life; regarding her Saviour's teaching, "Beware of covetousness," as a precept to be heeded, the true observance o0f which always brings peace to the saint. She died of dyspepsia, from which disease she suffered for some months; but her patience was equal to her suffering, and by the strength of that faith which overcomes the world and giveth victory to the saints, she passed away in peace. May the blessing of a merciful God attend and comfort her bereaved family. Butler, Ga. B.
