After a mixed life of 59 years of happiness, sorrow, suffering, and service –service for her lovedones and her God, she entered peacefully into that “rest that remaineth for the people of God.”Sister Faucett was the daughter of Nathaniel E. Cannady, one of the most excellent and honorable citizens Granville county ever had. Her death leaves Mr. John H. Cannady, her brother, as the only living child by her fathers first marriage. Sister Faucett was a devoted wife, not only in the gush of early love did she call her husband “darling” but to the Close of life she addressed him by that affectionate title. As a mother, her love for her four children was unbounded. It must have been a joy to see her children all grown and starting off well in life. It was a noble work to raise four good children. In early life sister Faucett professed faith in Christ and joined Brassfield Baptist Church. Her plenty was not of the demonastrative kind, but was sincere and steady. She loved to attend church whenever her delicate health would permit. On Saturday, the 28th of November her body was carried home in Oxford and laid to rest in the family burying ground in the country. The interment was witnessed by many sorrowing relatives and friends. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Stradley. “ How blest the righteous when they die, when sinks a weary soul to rest; How mildly becomes the closing eye, How gently heaves the expiring breast.” ---A FRIEND.— --------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE All documents placed in the USGenWeb Archives remain the property of the contributors, who retain publication rights in accordance with US Copyright Laws and Regulations.
