The Christian Index, July 4, 1889
Whereas, At the regular conference of the Baptist church at Hebron on Saturday 
before the third Lord's day in March, on motion, a committee was appointed to 
draft resolutions expressive of the feelings of the church with regard to the 
death of our beloved sister, Mary A. Allison, who died at her residence in 
Troup county, Ga., December 21, 1888.

Sister A. M. Persons was born in Warren county, Ga., August 31st, 1804.  Was 
married to Alexander allison in Jasper county, Ga., Nov. 16th, 1820; joined the 
Baptist church and was baptized in the Ockmulgee river by Rev. Mr. Brooks at 
Concord in 1823 or '24, in Jasper county; moved with her husband to Troup now 
Meriwether county, in the year 1828.  Both very soon after became constituting 
members of this, Hebron Baptist church.  Sister Allison became the mother of 
several children, four of whom still survive her.

Resolved 1. That in the death of sister Allison the church has lost a devoted 
member, sustaining the church with her presence as long as health would permit, 
and for many years afterwards never failed to send in her annual monied support 
for her pastor.

2.  That in our deep sorrow over her death, we offer to her bereaved family in 
their great affliction our condolence and heartfelt sympathy, known that their 
loved one has "finished her work," and has gone to dwell in the temple "not 
made with hands eternal in the heavens."

3. That a copy of the above resolutions be placed on the church book, a copy be 
sent to the bereaved family, and a copy each to the Christian Index and the 
LaGrange Reporter for publication.

W. H. Patridge, J. L. Brook, C. C. Marchman, J. G. Owens -- Committee.
May 18, 1889.
