                           NANCY COGBURN WALLACE
                                      
  The Obituary of the GATESVILLE STAR-FORUM of September 30, 1910 Nancy
  Cogburn(Cockburn) was born in Murray County, Georgia, September 28, 1838 and
  moved to Arkansas in 1849, and was married to Miles Wallace November 30,
  1854. She professed religion and joined the Methodist church in 1855.
  Departed this life September 1st, 1910. She was 71 years, 11 months and three
  days old. Was buried at Union school house (Union Valley Cemetery) in this
  County. Sister Wallace leaves a husband and six children and a host of
  friends to mourn her loss; James Wallace, Mrs. Sarah Taylor, Mrs. Betty
  Coleman, Mrs. Lucy Patterson, Mrs. Nora Pendleton, Mr. Sam Wallace, with a
  number of grandchildren. Our loss is her eternal gain. To her children she
  has left a name that is of more value than gold. Her godly patient life is
  one worthy of imitation. As long as she was able to attend services she was
  in her place. When opportunity presented itself, she was ready to stand as a
  witness for her Lord. Her home life was one of true piety; it was a pleasure
  to be with her and talk of her hopes and prospects for a home in Heaven. As a
  neighbor, she will long be remembered. She will be missed so much at home, at
  church, and by her friends and neighbors. We have no shelter in hours of
  sorrow that will help like that of resignation. To weary hearts, to mourning
  homes, God's Meekest Angel gently comes. There's quiet in that angel's
  glance, There's rest in His still countenance. The ills and woes He may not
  cure, He kindly trains us to endure. He walks with thee, that angel kind, And
  gently whispers be resigned. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord,
  Because they rest; because their trials are o'er. The voice of weeping shall
  be heard no more, In the eternal city, neither dying, nor sickness, pain, nor
  sorrow, neither crying, For God shall wipe away all tears, rest, rest. J. M.
