She was the daughter of Capt. R J Gailbreath, formerly a representative in the State Legislature, who lost his life during the late war and sister of our worthy Circuit Court Clerk, W. M Gailbreath. She professed her faith in the Savior and became a member of the Methodist Episcopal church south, in August 1875, since which she lived a faithful consistent christian life. Sister Fannie was quite tallented having mind well stored with useful information derived from general observation and select reading. She was also noted for her purity of mind and generous disposition, her desire being to make all around her happy. Possessing great vivacity of spirits, how well she succeeded in this, those only know who came within the circle of her influence. The following beautiful lines after her death were found in a book of hers in her own handwriting, and supposed to be her composition, which strongly set forth the beauties of her mentality and showed the channels in which flowed her religious thoughts: "Let us then live as be comes us, Let our -- be good and true, Then come what will or what must, We will be numbered with the pure. When we reach the parting hour. And see that our today is ending, Homeward in the great tomorrow, Our happy spirit will be tending." She lingered on her bed of affliction one month fromt he time she was taken until death came to relieve her sufferings, but did not speak of dying until the night proceeding the morning of her dissolution. For several days she had been too weak to talk, or even move her hands but as the hour of death approached, bouyed up as it were, for the final struggle, by an all supporting faith in a blessed Savior, she rallied in strength and seemingly inspirited by Him who is all powerful to save, she gave unmistakeable evidences of her willingness to depart, shouting praises to God and assuring those around her that she was not afraid to die. Thus cut off in the prime of youth we part from our young friend and sister with mingled feelings of sorrow and joy, sorrow, that one so bright, lovely and promising should so soon be taken from the loved ones on earth, joy, that she died not as those who have no hope but glad in the belief of a blessed immortality. Commending to her bereaved relative and friends the example of her pure life, we close this sketch with the beautiful words of the poet: "Dearest sister thou hast ---us; Here thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God 'hat hath bereft us; He can all our sorrow heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When our day of life is fled, then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no freewell tear is shed; A FRIEND *******************************************
