Jobe. Died at the residence of her husband, John W. Jobe, Nacogdoches county, Texas, Mrs. Sarah E. Jobe, on the 20th of September, 1861. Her disease was Congestive fever. Daughter of William and Rebecca Scott. Born and raised in Tennessee, born May 5, 1834, professed religion 1847, and was baptized by Elder Kimbro into the fellowship of the Mulberry Baptist Church, and emigrated with her husband and parents to Texas in 1859. On the 20th April, same year, the 29th of the month before her death, she buried her last child, a son aged 6 years. She bore all her afflictions with all the fortitude and patience of a child of God. During her illness she seemed to be impressed with the fact that she would die. She shouted the praises of God the day before her death, and spoke of death as she would a familiar friend— truly did the grace of God sustain sister Jobe to the last. Mr. Jobe and relatives we deeply sympathize with all. Let me say in the conclusion, if you would meet that beloved one beyond the region and shadow of death, you must follow Christ as she did. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ sustain you all. B. E. L.
