OBITUARIES.

At the residence of her son, near Marion, La., Mrs. Kitty M. Roye, wife of 
Mr. J. D. Roye, died of heart disease - 3d of Sept., 1885.
The deceased was the oldest child of Samuel and Winey Hollis and was born in 
Hall county, Ga., in 1821. When twelve years of age she moved with her parents 
to Awtaga [Autauga] county, Ala. She was married to J. D.Roye, March 5th, 1841 
in Coosa county, Ala. In 1848, she moved with her husband to Louisiana, settling 
in Union parish. She was the mother of nine children four only of whom were living 
at the time of her death to mourn her departure. In 1842 she joined the Methodist 
Church and continued a member of it until 1862 when she united to the Methodist 
Baptist church, at Concord, of which she was a faithful, and active member until 
her death. By her demise the community have lost a benevolent lady the church a 
true member and her family a relation whose place can never be as lovingly filled. 
In the hours of their bitter bereavement we would point to the name of Jesus as 
the only name known to men where relief can be found in the time of deep distress.
