DUNN, all of this District. ------- OBITUARIES DIED, at her residence in this District on the 4th inst., Mrs. Mary DONNALD, wife of John DONNALD, in the 61st year of her age. She has left a disconsolate husband and eleven children, a numberous train of grandchildren and other relatives to mourn their irreparable loss; but they "sorrow not as those who have no hope", being persuaded that their loss is her eternal gain. Early in life she became a convert of the Presbyterian faith under the preaching of the Rev. Robert Wilson, then Pastor of Upper Long Cane Church, and was a regular and consitent member of Greenville Church under the pastoral care of Rev. Hugh Dickson, for forty-one years. Her remains are deposited at the latter place and we trust her spirit has ascended to the bosom of her God. -------- DIED, at the residence of William JOLLY in Pickens District on the 2nd ult., Mrs. Sarah J. BRANYAN, consort of the late Thomas BRANYON of Abbeville District, aged 63 years. ------- DIED, at his residence in Abbeville District on the 24th ult., Thomas BRANYAN, in the 68th year of his age, after a short and severe attack of billious fever. Mr. and Mrs. Branyan were affectionate parents and kind neighbors. Called to their exit in a few days of each other, they seemed indeed to be "one flesh", and the affliction is doubly severe to their family of eight children and a large circle of friends. "All that live must die, passing through nature to eternity." -------- DIED, at Alligator C.H., Columbia Co., East Fla., Mr. John RASOR, in the 47th year of his age. He was a citizen of this District and has left a wife and six children, an aged father, one brother and three sisters and many other relations and friends to mourn their irreparable loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope." He was a member of the Baptist church for the last 14 or 15 years. Those seven gentlemen who were traveling with him, together with those kind friends about Alligator, are entitled to and hereby tendered the most sincere thanks of his relations, for the kind manner in which they treated him during his illness. -------- DIED, on the 19th of August at the residence of John A. SPEER, in this District, Miss Ferila T. PASCHALL of Lafayette Co. Miss., the eldest daughter of Leah and Samuel PASCHALL, in the 18th year of her age. She had been a member of the M.E. Church for three years. Her confinement was short and her suffering great, but she endured them all with patience and fortitude which Divine grace alone could impart. She considered them as laid upon her in mercy by her Heavenly Father, and light when compared with her desserts and the Heavenly glory for which they were designed to prepare her. She is now released and faith would rejoice that she has exchanged the chamber of suffering for the mansion of eternal joy and the communion of the blessed society above. O, that her parents, whose welfare concerned her so much, for whose salvation she would even have been willing to remain and suffer here, had it been the will of God. May we imitate her faith and piety and share with her the blessedness of Heaven. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of OCTOBER 21, 1846 CITATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, Jesse REAGIN has applied to grant him Letters of Administration on the Estates of Joseph REAGIN and Young REAGIN, deceased; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of the deceased to appear in the Court of Ordinary on the 1st Monday in November 1846, to show cause why it should not be granted.
