THE GOSPEL MESSENGER
Butler, Ga. Aug., 1886, Vol. 8 No. 8

Mrs. Mary A. Pickard, was born in Upson Co., Ga.
February 24, 1847, and departed this life in the
same county January 28, 1886, being nearly thirty-
nine years of age. She was married to Brother J. H.
Pickard in her youth, with whom she lived happily
until her death. Her health, which was at best
delicate, began to decline from consumption about
two years ago, which completely prostrated her for
six months. Her suffering was intense,
notwithstanding she had all the medical aid and
attention that could possibly be secured. She was
the affectionate mother of eight children, seven of
whom survive her, varying from three to twenty years
of age.  Sister Pickard joined Good Hope Church,
Upson Co., Ga. was baptized by Elder John Dickey, in
July, 1865. Her funeral was also preached by him at
the same place, where her dust now lies awaiting the
resurrection, in which I have no doubt she will be
raised in glory. Elder John Green Murray. (Her grave
is not marked)
