Bourbon Co This obituary from an unknown paper is pasted in the family Bible of Washington TRAYLOR/Mariah Aikman, now owned by a descendant residing in SC. Mariah died in Arlington , Tarrant Co. TX and was the first buried in Ford Cemetery on what was originally Traylor property. Mariah TRAYLOR departed this life June 7th 1858. She was born in Bourbon County KY, March 11th 1799, daughter of James and Elizabeth AIKMAN; married in Indiana in 1818, Professed Religion 1822, united with teh Presbyterian Church. Removed to Arkansas, 1839 where she connected with the Methodist Church in consequence of not being convenient to the Presbyterians. Soon after she informed her friends by letter that she found religion just as good in the Methodist as in the Presbyterian Church. Removed to Texas in the fall of 1854; brought letter and again united with the Methodist Church. Since she first made a profession of religion, she has never been known to express a doubt of her acceptance with God. She has been a useful member of the church and society, a mother in Israel, strong in faith, fervent in spirit, instant in prayer, serving the Lord and doing good to her fellow beings. She died as she lived, full of faith and of the Holy Ghost. Calm and in her right mind, she bid adieu to her family and friends, gave them a parting kiss and her Seraph winged spirit ascended on high where love immortal is known. During a protracted illness of seven weeks she manifested an entire calmness and perfect resignation which astonished friends and puzzled skeptics. She left eight children, all members of the church, and a bereft husband, who still survives to fill for a time his station in life. He is a stewarrd and a class leader in our church, and a superintendant of a sabbath school. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved who mourn her loss; yet we know that our loss is her eternal gain, for she rests from her labor and her works do follows her. W. S.
