The Southerner, Tarboro, NC
Saturday, Nov. 4th, 1854

                                   Died

At her residence in the county of Greene, near Speight’s Bridge, on the 25th 
Ult., Susan, wife of Mr. William Faircloth, aged near 56 years-leaving a 
husband, three sons, two daughters, and a large circle of relatives and 
friends to mourn and lament her loss. Mrs. Faircloth was born and raised in 
the county of Edgecombe, and was left destitute of a mother at an early age-
though small, she had to occupy the station of her mother in transacting the 
business of the house. She grew up, married, and resided in the county of 
Edgecombe until a few years before her death, when they moved to the county 
of Greene. She made a virtuous, pious, and obedient wife-an affectionate 
mother and obliging neighbor, and a tender nurse-often visited the sick and 
afflicted of her neighborhood. She possessed a great share of morality, was 
mild and easy in her manners, and often presented her visitors with a smile, 
even when on her death bed. As for care and industry she was excelled by 
none.-she also aided and assisted in accumulating much wealth. We who knew 
her from her childhood, don't hesitate to say that she left none
behind that can fill her station. She was esteemed by all who knew her, and 
those who knew her best, esteemed her most.
