"Mrs. Frances Hasson"

DIED At Waverley Plantation in the Parish of Caldwell, on the 6th ult., of paralysis, in 
the 70th year of her age, Mrs. FRANCES HASSON,mother of Dr. J.T. Simmons, of this town. For 
more than fourty (sic) years, she has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her 
lifehad been consicrated (sic) to its interests, deeming no sacrifice too great for its 
interests, deeming no sacrifice too great for its advancement and prosperity. Her 
sufferings were long and protracted, but she bore her afflictions with patience and 
resignation. Her Christian spirit in life more than supplied the absence of a dying 
testimony of her acceptance with the Lord. And thus she passed away from the sorrows of 
earth to the joys of Heaven. R.S.T.
