 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.): March 16, 1864
Died on the 29th of January, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Everhart, in
Winona, Minnesota, Mrs. Mary Finly, aged '72 years. Mrs. Finly was born and resided
most of her life in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. Her father, the Hon. George
Plumer, was said to have been the first white male child born under the British
dominion west of the Alleghenies. Familiar from childhood with the history of the
noble men and women who, in perils of Indian warfare, had made their homes in that
beautiful region, and laid deep the foundations of the Presbyterian church in
Western Pennsylvania, she loved to dwell on their trials, and contrast present
privileges with the narrations she had heard of early days. A mother indeed in
Israel, beloved by all, revered and cherished by her children, she was sustained in
her last hours by the everlasting arms of the Saviour she had loved and served
through life, and trusted in death.
