TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, January 12, 1860, p. 4, c. 2

Mrs. Grizzella A. Jernigan, wife of Martin Jernigan, lately from 
Cumberland county, N. C., died near Tyler, Smith county, Texas, on 
the 23d inst. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church. 
She expressed a perfect willingness to die. She had lately read, with 
much religious comfort, Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress. When crossing 
the river of death she shouted, “Victory, victory!” As a wife, mother 
and neighbor, she was affectionate and kind. She leaves a husband 
and five children (one an infant 2 days old) to mourn their loss; but 
they sorrow not as those without hope-May the Lord assist our bereaved 
brother in taking care of his motherless children.
