The North Carolina Presbyterian 12/29/1892
   In Robeson county, Dec. 6th,m 1892, Mrs.
CATHERINE McRAE in the 91st year of
her age.
   The deceased had been prostrated by the
hand of affliction for sometime previous to
her death; but bore her afflictions with much
Christian resignation.
   “Aunt Katie” as she was familiarly known,
was a great favorite with young and old. 
She possessed a most charming and amiable
disposition; always meeting her friends with
a pleasant smile, which indicated good will
and cordial welcome.  Within the past few
years she was time and again called to pass
through the deep waters of affliction, as one
and another of her married daughters were
called to pass through the valley and “shadow
of death.”  But with Job of old – she could
say – “The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away; blessed be the name of the
Lord.”
   Three of her children still survive her, to
whom she has left the rich legacy of a noble
Christian character, and who are confronted
with the blessed hope that she is now with
the loved ones who preceded her in the home
of glory where partings are o’er, and where
pleasures are forevermore.  “Precious in the
sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”
