Departed this life at the residence of her husband in
Upson County Mrs. Catharine E. Lyon, consort of Jordan
Lyon, on the 6th April 1859. The subject of this notice
had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church for
twenty years. As a wife she was faithful and
affectionate, as a mother she was truly a maternal guide.
By the side of her children she would kneel and commend
them to the care of a Savior who has promised wisdom to
those who ask. In all the relations of life she was
consistent and agreeable; thus by her death her family is
robbed of an exemplary and pious guide and society one of
its nobles ornaments. But whiltse we drop the ter of
sorrow we mour not as those ho have no hope. Tough death
came suddently upon her she was found prepared for the
dread conflict. The day before her death she had given
orders concerning her burial and whilst death was meeting
its victim she was enable to trust in her Savior, sahing
"All was clear--Jesus was her portion". And after
entreating her husband and children to meet her in
Heaven, when Speech failed, she wrote a test of Scripture
for her funeral discourse, naming the Minister whom she
wished to preach. Then with calmness she fell asleep in
Jesus. May her husband and children follow her example in
life, and in Eternity shape her righteous reward.
